PELLA (TABAQAT FAHL)
A favorite of archaeologists - it is
exceptionally rich in antiquities, some of which
are exceedingly old. Besides the excavated ruins
from the Graeco-Roman period, including an Odeon
(theatre), Pella offers visitors the opportunity
to see the remains of a Chalcolithic settlement
from the 4th millennium BC, the remains of
Bronze and Iron Age walled cities, Byzantine
churches and houses, an Early Islamic
residential quarter, and a small medieval
mosque.
