Syrian city with a historic citadel

I believe the answer is:

aleppo

(Other definitions for aleppo that I've seen before include "Foreign city" , "City in Syria - lop ape (anag)" , "War-torn city of Syria" , "Lap Poe around the Syrian city" , "Tomorrow" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
