Beit Ghazaleh, Ottoman palace in Al-Jdayde district, Aleppo, Syria

The mansion extends over 1,600 square meters, featuring six courtyards and a central courtyard of 250 square meters with geometric patterns.

The Ghazaleh family owned this residence for two centuries until 1914, when it transformed into a public school for the local community.

The decorative panels contain painted inscriptions mixing popular sayings, mystic poetry, and biblical psalms in Arabic calligraphy.

The building includes a private hammam bath system, multiple storage rooms, and cellars beneath the ground floor for temperature regulation.

The T-shaped reception hall incorporates three iwans around a central vestibule, demonstrating the fusion of Ottoman and Syrian architectural elements.
