The Orontes Bends
The river loops through the city in a sinuous line, and the historic centre is organised along its winding course rather than on a grid.

The map
About this Ḩamāh map poster
Ḩamāh lies in western Syria on the Orontes River, which winds through the city in a series of tight curves between steep banks. On a map the river is the defining line. Neighbourhoods climb away from it on both sides, and the older quarters sit closest to the water, where streets narrow and turn irregularly before opening into the straighter layouts of later districts.
The city is famous for its norias, large wooden waterwheels that lifted river water into aqueducts for irrigation, some of them centuries old. Several still stand along the Orontes in the centre. Nearby, the citadel hill, an ancient mound occupied for thousands of years, is now a public park, and from above it reads as a rounded open space among dense blocks.
A Ḩamāh map poster traces the meandering river, the bridges that stitch the two halves of the city together and the newer roads that encircle the core. It is a composition defined by water in a dry landscape, which gives the whole print a clear centre of gravity and a sense of movement.

Waterwheel Banks
The stretches of riverbank where the historic norias stand appear as quiet green edges beside the water in the heart of the city.
Citadel Park
The old citadel mound, now a park, forms a rounded open shape near the river and gives the dense street pattern a clear landmark.

Why Ḩamāh
A map that means something
For many Syrians abroad, Ḩamāh is a family city, and a map is a way to keep its streets and river close without relying on photographs. The print is precise and restrained, suited to a study, a hallway or a living room.
Personalise it with a title such as a family name, a subtitle with a meaningful year, and a coordinates line. Then choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand.
