The Statue of Queen Zenobia stands in a location as dramatic and bold as the queen herself — in the Mediterranean Sea, with its figure rising proudly above the water. Positioned just off the coast of Latakia, the statue is a striking visual reminder of Zenobia’s reign and the cultural significance of Palmyra, the once-thriving city that became her kingdom’s heart.

The statue is not just a work of art but a symbol of resilience, courage, and independence — qualities that Zenobia herself exemplified. The statue is strategically placed between the sea and the sky, offering a breathtaking view for those who visit. As the waves lap against the shores, the statue of Queen Zenobia serves as a reminder of her defiance, as if she herself is still watching over the land, undeterred by time. It is an enduring tribute to Syria’s rich cultural and historical heritage. (Source: https://artarch.dalatcamping.net/)
