About Homs
Homs is the 3rd most important
city in Syria.It lies 160 km to the north of Damascus. Like Petra and Palmyra,
Homs was an Arab emirate in the 2nd century B.C. It was also the 3rd station on
the 'Silk route' after Doura Europos and Palmyra.
It still retains this position of importance today, as the oil pipelines pass
through the city.
This historical city produced
many impressive personalities. Bassianos (an emir of Homs), through his
daughter's marriage to the Roman emperor, Septimium Severus, who ruled Rome from
193 to 211, sired three rulers, Caracalla, Heliogabalus and AlexanderSeverus.The
city was the birthplace of the famous Syrian philosopher, Longenius, counselor
to Queen Zenobia, and of the famous physician, Marlian.
Among the most significant historic constructions remaining in Homs is the
mosque of Khaled Ibn al-Walid, the great commander of the Muslim Arab armies.
Two very tall white-stone minarets lend lightness to the imposing structure. The
slender colonnade in black and white stone horizontal rows is representative of
traditional Syrian architecture.
Many churches still stand in Homs from the days of early Christianity in Syria.
One of these churches is said to possess the girdle of the Blessed Virgin.The
church of St.Elian is unique for its collection of fine frescoes discovered in
1970.These bear inscriptions in Greek and Arabic, and date back to the end of
the 12th century. The Nuri mosque also dates back to the 12th century,
distinguished for its beautiful entrance.
