Palmyra after Isis: a visual guide

 

Archaeologists feared

they would find widespread devastation

after Palmyra was recaptured from Islamic State

by pro-Assad forces in March.

 

While the ancient city’s

most famous monuments were desecrated,

other notable artefacts survived

and experts hope the whole site will be restored
