Tishreen Palace

Tishreen Palace is the former official residence of Syria's leadership in the Al-Muhajirin district, situated on elevated terrain overlooking the city. The compound includes the main residence, administrative buildings, and extensive gardens spread across the grounds.

The palace served as the primary residence of the ruling family until the early 1990s when a new government compound was established on Mount Mezzeh. This shift marked a turning point in how the property was used.

The palace represents the center of Syrian executive authority and hosts state ceremonies as well as diplomatic functions. Its prominent location and contemporary design make it a visible symbol of governmental power within the city.

This location is not open to public visitation due to its restricted status and heavy security measures surrounding the compound. Visitors should maintain respectful distance and observe any barriers or security zones in the area.

The building sustained damage from artillery strikes during the conflict and bears visible marks of these events on its structures. These traces serve as a tangible record of recent events.
