Qanawat, Residential neighborhood west of Old City in Damascus, Syria.
The Qanawat district features narrow stone streets lined with traditional Syrian houses, local markets, and several government buildings including ministries.
The name Qanawat stems from ancient Roman aqueducts that supplied water to Damascus, with remaining structures still visible in the district today.
Multiple mosques from the 18th century stand within Qanawat, representing religious centers where local communities gather for prayers and celebrations.
The district contains the University of Damascus, National Museum, and numerous transportation connections to other parts of the Syrian capital.
The district houses the Hammam al-Jadid, a historical Turkish bathhouse from the Mamluk period that continues to operate in modern times.
