Melkite Catholic Archeparchy of Damascus

The Melkite Catholic Archeparchy of Damascus is an Eastern Catholic church operating in the city with oversight of multiple parishes. Its main cathedral serves as the spiritual center for its community.

This church community has roots in the earliest times of Christianity in the Middle East. Its development remained closely tied to the region's history and Christian presence there.

Services here follow Byzantine traditions and use Arabic language, reflecting Eastern Christian practices rooted in the Middle East. This connection to local customs shapes how the community gathers and worships together.

The location sits in the Bab Charki neighborhood of Damascus and is reachable from the main streets. Visitors should be aware of opening times and the religious setting to visit respectfully.

The community experienced major shifts in membership over recent decades. These changes reflect broader patterns in the region's Christian population.
