Azm Palace, Ottoman palace in Hama, Syria.

The Azm Palace features two main floors with courtyards, fountains, and grand reception rooms adorned with painted woodwork and patterned marble decorations.

The palace was constructed in 1742 by Ottoman governor As'ad Pasha al-Azm, who used family funds and incorporated materials from local buildings.

The structure includes separate sections for family quarters and guest areas, reflecting Ottoman social customs through its haremlik and selamlik divisions.

The palace now functions as the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions, displaying archaeological artifacts, Roman mosaics, and traditional Syrian costumes.

The building demonstrates alternating dark and light ablaq masonry patterns, with stone lattice windows surrounding courtyards that contain central water features.
