Al-Azm Palace, Ottoman palace in Damascus, Syria
The Al-Azm Palace features two main sections with courtyards, including private family quarters and formal reception halls adorned with geometric patterns.
As'ad Pasha al-Azm, the Ottoman governor of Damascus, constructed this residence in 1749 using materials from earlier structures in the city.
The palace division reflects Ottoman social customs, with separate areas for family life and public gatherings, each centered around decorated courtyards.
Visitors can explore both floors of the palace, examining the stone lattice windows, carved wooden ceilings, and intricate tile decorations.
The palace walls display alternating dark and light stone patterns, known as ablaq masonry, following traditional Damascene construction techniques.
