Damascus. Syria. View of part of the Ottoman columned portico along north wall of the Azem Palace. Built in 1749-50 as private residence for the Ottoman governor of Damascus, the stunning palace features striking Arab architecture and is one of the most impressive sights found in Damascus. The Palace buildings are decorated beautifully with a hooped combination of black basalt, limestone and sandstone and the main courtyard is a shady and tranquil setting complete with pools and fountains. Damascus is the capital of Syria and one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world.
