Sopore or Sopur, known as Suyyapura in antiquity, is a city in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir, India.

Wular Lake is a major source of fish for the Kashmir Valley and is also distinguished for its production of water chestnuts, enhancing the region's economic and ecological significance.

[10][11] Old Sopur is settled on the both banks of the Jhelum River, lending it a picturesque and historically rich setting.

Each mohalla has its own unique character and history, together forming a diverse and culturally significant part of Old Sopur.

Each of these neighborhoods were designed with modern infrastructure and amenities, reflecting the region's growth and enhancement of urban living standards.

This belt includes a numerous villages such as Dangerpora, Dooru, Mundji, Hardshiva, Warpora, Botingoo, Wadoora, Tujar, Brath, Bomai, Seelo, Logripora, Zaloora etc.

[27] A major development in this expansion was the emergence of Iqbal Market, which quickly became the heart of commercial activities.

Additionally, Amargarh and the Sopore Bypass are rapidly developing into prominent commercial zones, further enhancing the city's economic landscape.

[31] Ancient Suyyapura, founded by a reputed Kashmiri engineer Suyya during the reign of Raja Awantivarma (855-883 A.D.) and commemorating his name, is undoubtedly the town known now as Sopore.

[citation needed] J.P. Ferguson in his book entitled 'Kashmir' remarks "Suyya stands out as a person hundreds of years in advance of his time".

[citation needed]It is because of the technical intelligence and real skill he possessed and applied for draining off the flood water which could find no outlet and had made the cultivation of land impossible with the result that famine like condition prevailed in the whole of the valley.

Stein, the English translator of Kalhanas 'Rajatarangini' in his book 'Memoir on maps illustrating the Ancient Geography of Kashmir' published in 1899, (p-208) while writing about Sopore town remarks: Sopore which lies a short distance below the point where the Vitasta leaves the Wular, has retained its importance to this day and still a town of over 8,000 inhabitants.

As will be clear from the history of the town narrated above, there is no trace left of any historical buildings or ancient monuments which could throw some light on the past.

Zain-ul-Abidin responded by sending an army to Sopur, and they routed Adam's forces in a pitched battle.
