Sana’a Old City
The capital city of Yemen is Sana’a. For more than 2,500 years, the old fortified city of Sana’a has been inhabited. This old city possesses a wealth of intact architectural gems. The city is surrounded by ancient clay walls.
Sana’a features over 100 mosques, 12 hammams (baths) and 6,500 houses. Resembling the ancient skyscrapers, many of the houses are several stories high and topped with flat roofs. Elaborate friezes intricately carved frames, and stained glass windows decorate them.
