archstones mosaics

The multicolored marble mosaics cover the lintels above the windows and the archstones overhanging the doors.

 

The Debbaneh Palace was built in 1721 and listed as an historic monument in 1968.

The damascene decoration is developed from the mamelouk tradition and the ottoman art. In 1999 the palace was restored and established as a museum.
