Tadmor was a city Solomon built in the desert northeast of Damascus, positioned to control the caravan routes crossing the Syrian wilderness (1 Kings 9:18; 2 Chr. 8:4). The Greeks and Romans knew it as Palmyra, and under Roman rule it grew into a wealthy caravan city famous for its colonnaded streets and monumental temples, ruins that stood for centuries as one of the ancient world's best-preserved sites before suffering severe damage during the Syrian civil war.
