Ancient citadel in Afghanistan restored to its former glory. 'As this citadel represents, Afghanistan stood as a great nation. It will so stand.......

An ancient citadel in Herat that dates back to Alexander the Great has been restored, a bright sign of progress in a country destroyed by war. The citadel, a fortress that resembles a sand castle overlooking the city, and a new museum of artifacts at the site was completed by hundreds of local craftsmen and funding and support from the U.S. and German governments and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
