The Norias of Hama are a number of norias ("wheels of pots") along the Orontes River in the city of Hama. The earliest norias in Hama were developed during the Byzantine era, although none of the norias today precede the Ayyubid period (12th century). They are mostly unused now and serve an aesthetic purpose. Hama, Orontes River, Syria.
