Damascus, city, capital of Syria. Located in the southwestern corner of the country, it has been called the ‘pearl of the East,’ praised for its beauty and lushness. It is unclear when the ancient city was founded, but evidence has been found showing that an urban center in the area existed in the 4th millennium BCE.
