Descripción del sitio
It was mentioned in the general "Aleppo Citadel" marker, I wanted to clarify that the glacis is the smoothly graded hill that makes the citadel so difficult to attack – it has an angle of 52 degrees to the horizontal, in places. Paving portions of the glacis with stone was undertaken by Saladin's son al-Malik al-Zaher Ghazi in the late 1200s.
