The first step in knowledge is to listen, then to be quiet and attentive, then to preserve it, then to put it into practice and then to spread it.[Sufyan Ibn Unaiynah(Rahimahullah)]

In The Biography of Shaikhul Islam Ibn Taimiyyah ( Rahimahullah)
which was written in the english translation of his book "Diseases of the heart and Their Cures" It is said like this.

"He was Born in Harran, an Old city within the Arabian Peninsula Between Syria and Iraq on 10th or 12th Rabiu'l Awwal in the year 661H"

so it seems that Harran was a city in between Syria and Iraq

I hope that gives an appropriate answer.
