History
[ edit ]
Barzeh's foundation dates back to at least Roman times. There is archaeological evidence of Roman and Aramean tombs in the area. Traditionally it has always been a town of the Ghouta , and therefore closely linked to agriculture. Rice, oil and olives and various types of fruit are produced. In the 20th century, it was absorbed into Damascus.
Syrian Civil War
