This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Syria's Hama old town and its remarkable 13th-century water wheels, known as Norias. Steeped in history and nestled in the heart of the Middle East, this ancient city has long been a significant stop along the legendary Silk Road. The image transports us to a bygone era, where we can almost hear the echoes of bustling trade caravans that once traversed these streets. The intricate architecture of Hama's old town stands as a testament to its rich cultural heritage, with every stone telling stories from centuries past. Dominating the skyline are the iconic water wheels or Norias, which have become synonymous with Hama. These ingenious structures were ingeniously designed to harness the power of the Orontes River, providing irrigation for nearby farmlands and creating an enchanting sight for visitors. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Michele Falzone (MF), we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless charm. The play of light and shadow adds depth to each architectural detail while inviting us to explore further into this historic town.
