The Palmyrenes buried their dead, instead of cremating them – cremation was the usual practice in the western parts of the Empire. Wealthy families built tombs in the form of towers outside the city walls, generally lining a road. The remains of the dead were placed in niches in the walls inside the tower, and each niche was sealed with a carved and painted portrait of the dead person.This tomb tower is called the Tower of Elhabel. It was reconstructed in the early twentieth century.
The Temple of Bel was built in a mixture of Roman and Middle Eastern styles. This photograph shows the remains of the temple before much of it was destroyed by ISIL in 2015.
