Hama is an important city in western Syria, located on the banks of the Orontes River and is the capital of Hama Province. Dating back to the Bronze Age, the historic city was known in ancient times as "Hamat" and was once a trading hub on the Silk Road. Famous for its spectacular Norias waterwheels, these 2,000-year-old wooden waterwheels are a symbol of Hama and were declared a World Heritage Site in 2011. Historically, Hama was a fusion of Assyrian, Roman and Arab civilizations, and boasts monuments such as the Great Mosque. An agricultural center that produces cotton, olives, and grains, Hama is rebuilding itself to its former vitality after the 2011 Syrian crisis, which saw intense conflict and damage to the city's facilities.
