While a metropolitan see, the Archeparchy of Damascus is without suffragans and is exempt directly to the Syriac Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch.

It has its cathedral in the archepiscopal see and Syrian national capital Damascus.

It was established in 1633 in its present status, on territory previously without a Syriac Catholic ordinary or ecclesiastical territory.

Pope John Paul II visited the archeparchy in May 2001.
