Palmyra

The legend tells that the ancient caravan town of Tadmor was established by King Solomon and its name appears in the Bible too.
The history instead tells that the town became imprtant follwing to the expansion done by emperor Adrian in the year 129 A.C. The ancient aramaic name of Tadmor disappeared and it becames for ever famous as Palmyra.
The archeological site is in total decline apart few skeleton of monuments that still stand, but it is easy to percieve and imagine the prosperity of the past, thanks also to rebelleious Queen Zenobia.
