Burqush or Burkush (Arabic: برقش) is an archaeological site situated 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Damascus, Syria. The nearby Wadi al-Qarn is an important breeding site for wild birds in the Middle East and has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area. The site sits at an altitude of 1,580 metres (5,180 ft) and overlooks the Damascus plain and surrounding hill country where herds of goats and camels wander the area. Due to the sensitive nature of the territory close to the borders with Lebanon and the Golan, visitors may need a military escort to access the site, which is a ten-minute walk along a steep track away from the main road. Julien Aliquot suggested that the site may have been called Barkousa in ancient times. This was contrary to the location of Barkusha that had previously been suggested by Albrecht Alt in 1947. In the 6th century, it was renamed Justinianopolis (Greek: Ἰουστινιανούπολις, "city of Justinian") after the Byzantine emperor Justinian I.

El cercano Wadi al-Qarn es un importante lugar de reproducción de aves silvestres en el Oriente Medio y ha sido identificado por BirdLife International como un Área Importante para las Aves. El sitio se encuentra a una altitud de 1580 metros y domina la llanura de Damasco y la región montañosa circundante donde manadas de cabras y camellos deambulan por la zona. Debido a la naturaleza delicada del territorio cercano a las fronteras con el Líbano y el Gaulanítide, los visitantes pueden necesitar una escolta militar para acceder al sitio, que se encuentra a diez minutos a pie por un sendero empinado alejado de la carretera principal. Julien Aliquot sugirió que el sitio pudo haber sido llamado Barkousa en la antigüedad. Esto era contrario a la ubicación de Barkusha que había sido sugerida previamente por Albrecht Alt en 1947. En el siglo VI, pasó a llamarse Justinianopolis (en griego: Ἰουστινιανούπολις, "ciudad de Justiniano") en honor al emperador bizantino Justiniano I. (es) |
