The map
Damascus is often cited as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It grew at the foot of Mount Qasioun, which rises steeply to the northwest, and beside the Barada River, whose waters once fed the surrounding Ghouta oasis. From above, the city spreads across the plain below the mountain, with newer districts climbing its lower slopes.
The Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is enclosed by walls in a rough oval. Through it runs Straight Street, the Via Recta of Roman times, mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, while the Umayyad Mosque occupies a large rectangle in the northern part. Around them, a dense tangle of lanes and courtyard houses gives the core its intricate texture.
Outside the walls, twentieth-century boulevards, squares and planned quarters extend west and north, and the course of the Barada is marked by a thin line of water and greenery. A Damascus map poster shows these layers side by side: the fine-grained ancient core, the broader modern streets and the dark mass of Qasioun above.
The Roman Via Recta crosses the Old City from east to west, a single straight line cutting through a web of narrow, irregular lanes and courtyards.
Its large rectangular courtyard and prayer hall form one of the clearest shapes inside the walls, set among the covered markets of the northern Old City.
The mountain rises sharply above the northwest of the city, and streets stop where the slope becomes too steep, giving the map a firm upper edge.

Why Damascus
For Syrians at home and abroad, Damascus carries family memory across generations, from a childhood street in the Old City to a neighbourhood on the slopes of Qasioun. A map is a way to keep that geography close, whatever the distance.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can hold a family name, a quarter of the city or a meaningful date. Choose one of five styles, Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, as a high-resolution file or a printed poster.
