Beit Ghazaleh
Beit Ghazaleh (The Ġazaleh House; (アラビア語: غزالة)) is one the largest and better-preserved palaces from the Ottoman period in Aleppo. It was named after the Ghazaleh〔According to the transcripts and genealogical lines of the family, the name can be found spelt in different ways: Gazalé, Ġazaleh, Gazale, Ghazaleh.〕 family that owned it for about two centuries.〔The oldest parts of the house are at least 350 years old.〕 Since 1914, it was used as a public school〔It was first converted into a German and then an Armenian school (Haigazian Varjaran).〕 and was recently restored to host the Memory Museum of the city of Aleppo. Beit Ghazaleh is located in the Al-Jdayde〔Transliteration. The area has been recorded as Al-Jdaydeh, Al-Jdeideh, Al-Judayde, Al-Jdeïdé, Al-Judayda, from the Arabic جديدة.〕 district of Aleppo.
== History: the origins of the Ġazaleh House in Aleppo ==
The house is located on the Western edge of a large suburb inhabited by a multi-religious and multi-ethnic population. This neighbourhood to the North of the old city of Aleppo developed since the late Mameluke period. This area became the Christian quarter of Jdeideh which was organically clustered around its churches. Here lived the notables of Aleppo’s Christian communities, notably the Armenians who specialised in trade with India and Persia.
The Ġazaleh House was built in front of two large Muslim waqfs — created in 1583-90 and 1653 — and together they form the monumental heart of a lively mixed Christian-Muslim neighbourhood. Unique for its size and decor, Beit Ghazaleh embodies the wealth and power of the Christian community in 17th century Aleppo. The decorative panels of Beit Ghazaleh do not include human figure representations; made by local craftsmen, the panels display many painted inscriptions presenting a mix of popular sayings, mystic poetry〔Their authors were either Muslim or Christian.〕 and biblical psalms. This diversity of sources underlines the rich Arab culture and the eclecticism typical of Aleppo urban ''élites''.
