Homs, Syria’s central crossroads city, sits midway between Damascus and Aleppo on a fertile plain along the Orontes River, about 160 km from the Mediterranean coast. Known as the “mother of black stones” for its basalt architecture, it features the historic Khalid ibn al-Walid Mosque with its striking twin minarets, the ancient Church of Saint Mary of the Holy Belt, and remnants of medieval citadels.
