Beit Achiqbash, Ottoman mansion in Al-Jdayde, Syria.
The inner courtyard of Beit Achiqbash features carved ornaments and decorative elements that mix Mamluk and Rococo architectural styles throughout its spaces.
Built in 1757 by Christian merchant Qarah Ali, the mansion changed ownership when a Turkish resident named Ashiqbash acquired it after Ali relocated to Alexandretta.
The Popular Traditions Museum inside Beit Achiqbash contains collections of artifacts and artworks that document the daily life of Aleppo residents across generations.
The structure underwent restoration work in 2019, focusing on the courtyard reconstruction using original materials following damage during the Syrian conflict.
The mansion represents a combination of Ottoman architectural principles with local Syrian building techniques, resulting in distinctive spatial arrangements and decorative patterns.
