Located in the northwestern part of the country, near Idlib province, the Syrian village of Shams is a traditional village with a long history. Known for its well-preserved Ottoman-era stone buildings and winding alleyways, it offers a unique look at the Syrian countryside. Surrounded by fertile farmland, the village has long made a living from olive cultivation and handicrafts, and the villagers live a slow-paced life, retaining strong local cultural traditions. However, following a period of depopulation and destruction of infrastructure due to the ongoing conflict in Syria, some of the residents of Shams have gradually returned to their homes in recent years in an effort to restore them. Despite the challenges, the village's old mosque bell and century-old olive trees bear witness to its resilient history and epitomize the cultural heritage of rural Syria.
