The Umayyad Square is a significant public square in Damascus, Syria, connecting the city center to major highways and featuring notable buildings such as the Ministry of Defense, the national Opera House, and the Syrian Armed Forces headquarters. A prominent monument, the Damascene Sword, symbolizes the city's victories and strength, while its name refers to the Umayyads who established Damascus as their caliphate's capital in the 7th century. The square has hosted large rallies, including a pro-President al-Assad event in 2011, and previously served as the site for the annual Damascus International Fair from 1954 to 2012.learn more on wikipedia
