Contest #264

There is an object in this picture that obviously doesn’t belong there. (click the picture to enlarge)

This week’s key question (to earn your points) is not only where is this location, but what is inside this object?

Contest #263 answer: Al-Madina souq, Aleppo, Syria

Well, what can I say. It is total mayhem out there.

Of course it is to regret that another UNESCO World Heritage Site is demolished -as stated by UNESCO Director General Irina Bobkova– but for the people living there, the situation must be unbearable.

The Souq Al-Madina is/was the the largest covered ancient market in the world, with around 13 kilometres of alleyways.
