Italian architects reconstructing Palmyra’s Triumphal Arch

"A group of Italian architects are resurrecting parts of the war-ravaged ancient Syrian city of Palmyra by recreating the 2,000-year-old Triumphal Arch from the Temple of Bel – much of which was destroyed by the Islamic State (ISIL) over the past year. The 3D robotic printers are being used to print the arch in Italy’s Carrara mountains so as to bring the historic ruins back to life".
