The caliphs who governed from Damascus were primarily the Umayyad caliphs, ruling from 661 to 750 CE. The first Umayyad caliph was Muawiya I, who established the capital in Damascus after the end of the First Fitna (civil war). The Umayyad dynasty expanded the Islamic empire significantly during its rule, spreading from Spain in the west to India in the east. Their governance marked a significant period in Islamic history, characterized by political and cultural developments.
