Ancient city in NW Syria (6)

I believe the answer is:

aleppo

(Other definitions for aleppo that I've seen before include "Largest city in Syria before the massive damage of the civil war" , "Ancient city, in Syria" , "Middle East city" , "Foreign city" , "War-torn city of Syria" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
