Formerly known as Green Square. This is a popular gathering place. It gives some good views of the old city walls. Some of the shopping streets also start here. The square is often used for demonstrations (against the Syrian regime typically) and as a place for motorcycle enthusiasts to show off. There is nothing in the square itself to see.
Built in 1834.
Only surviving Roman monument in the city.
