The Azem Palace is the largest Ottoman residence in the Old City of Damascus. It was built in the 18th century by Assad Pasha Al-'Azem, a governor of Damascus, and remained in the Azem family for many generations. The striped stone walls are built in a typical Damascene style known as ablaq. It is now a Museum.
