Beit Junblatt

Beit Junblatt is a historic mansion in Aleppo, Syria, built in the 16th century by the Kurdish emir Janbulad ibn Qasim. Known for its stunning architecture, it features the largest iwan in Aleppo adorned with intricate qashani ceramic-tiled mosaics. The palace has served various purposes over the centuries, including a residence for the Ottoman wāli and later the mufti of Aleppo. Despite suffering damage during the Battle of Aleppo, it has been restored to function as a cultural center and library, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in Syrian heritage.
