For the 1982 Hama massacre, see- Hama massacre

Hama ( , Ḥamā, pronounced -arħaˈmaː; Biblical Ḥamāth, "fortress") is a city on the banks of the Orontes River in central Syria north of Damascus. It is the provincial capital of the Hama Governorate. Hama is the fourth-largest city in Syria - behind Aleppo, Damascus, and Homs - with a population of 696,863 (2009). The city is the location of the historical city Hamath.

The city is renowned for its 17 norias used for watering the gardens, which-it is claimed-date back to 1100 BC. Though historically used for purpose of irrigation, the norias exist today as an almost entirely aesthetic traditional show.
