Al-Azm
Palace
is
an
ancient
palace
located
in
the
heart
of
the
Syrian
city
of
Hama,
near
the
public
park
next
to
the
waterwheels.
It
is
also
the
headquarters
of
the
Folk
Traditions
Museum
in
Hama.
It
is
named
after
the
Al-Azm
family
because
the
first
one
to
build
it
was
Asaad
Pasha
Al-Azm,
and
his
sons
completed
it
and
used
it.
Al-Azm
Palace
is
considered
one
of
the
most
beautiful
urban
monuments
in
the
Ottoman
era.
It
is
located
in
the
old
city
of
Hama
-
Syria,
in
the
most
beautiful
location
and
the
most
wonderful
place
archaeologically
or
naturally.
Some
researchers
have
considered
it
to
be
the
most
beautiful
thing
about
the
palace
in
its
location,
as
it
overlooks
the
Orontes
River
with
its
towering
dome,
and
the
river
flows
under
its
feet.
It
is
like
a
beautiful
straight
street
with
the
waterwheels
of
Hama,
famous
for
their
sweet
sound,
within
a
lush
garden
characterized
by
different
types
and
shapes
of
trees,
fruits,
and
flowers.[1]
From
its
windows,
the
viewer
sees
many
of
Hama’s
archaeological
buildings,
such
as
the
Citadel,
the
Al-Nuri
Mosque,
the
old
neighborhoods
of
Hama,
and
some
of
the
city’s
archaeological
mosques.
However,
if
we
enter
the
museum
inside
the
palace,
we
will
see
the
Iwan’s
upholstery,
which
is
made
of
raw
white
printed
fabric,
which
the
city
of
Hama
is
unique
in
making
in
its
black
and
red
colours.
In
the
middle
of
it
is
a
pot
and
a
coffee
pot,
topped
with
the
fresco
painting
that
was
previously
described.
Then,
on
the
upper
floor,
there
are
two
exhibition
rooms,
the
first
of
which
depicts
the
works
of
Rif.
It
consists
of
grinding
grain
or
spinning
wool,
carried
out
by
two
girls
dressed
in
rural
clothes.
As
for
the
second
room,
it
is
called
(the
bride’s
jalwa)
according
to
the
local
dialect,
which
means
that
the
dresser,
who
decorates
and
dresses
the
bride,
presents
the
bride
to
the
groom,
and
next
to
her
is
the
mother
of
the
bride,
and
everyone
wears
the
intimate
uniform
(the
kimono)
of
the
dresser,
which
is
occupied
with
floral
decorations,
made
in
the
Sarma,
in
addition
to
the
silk
dress
for
which
it
is
famous.
The
Hamwi
Bride.
It
is
made
of
black
original
silk,
the
decorations
of
which
are
made
by
tying
small
knots
of
fabric
and
dyed
in
natural
colors
of
red
and
yellow.
A
sequin
and
a
bead
is
placed
over
each
dot.
This
dress
is
crowned
with
a
black
velvet
collar
embroidered
with
floral
and
animal
shapes
distorted
from
reality.
Then
we
move
to
the
northern
part
of
the
palace,
that
is,
to
Al-Salamlik,
via
Al-Hammam
Al-Muayyadah,
with
its
three
sections,
Javani,
Wastani,
and
Barani,
in
addition
to
the
private
cabin.
It
contains
statues
representing
the
bathing
process
and
its
stages
until
it
ends
in
the
resting
places.
The
ceiling
of
this
bath
is
distinguished
by
glass
moons
that
allow
light
to
pass
through
it.
As
for
Al-Salamlik,
on
the
ground
floor,
there
appears
to
be
a
heavenly
expanse
with
a
small
pool
in
the
middle,
surrounded
by
various
decorations
made
of
colored
marble,
decorations
that
add
beauty
to
the
beauty
of
the
place
and
increase
its
elegance
and
splendor.
From
there,
we
enter
the
kitchen
room
as
it
was
previously
used,
where
glass
cabinets
were
displayed
containing
many
and
varied
beautiful
models
of
clear
and
overlaid
glass,
opaline,
or
colored
porcelain,
which
are
either
lamps,
pots,
jugs,
or
cups.
As
for
the
ground
floor
of
the
Haramlik
section,
there
are
three
rooms
with
the
two
vaults
that
need
to
be
restored
and
the
vaulted
lime
layer
should
be
restored
to
the
vaults
and
rooms,
and
the
ceiling
of
the
room
opposite
the
iwan
must
be
restored.
The
statues
in
the
old
rooms
on
display
and
prepared
for
display
represent
a
room
for
guests
and
include
furniture
made
of
pieces
made
of
sarma
on
the
ground
floor
of
the
Haramlik
section,
as
well
as
the
Nabin
Room.
It
contains
the
process
of
printing
cloth
of
all
kinds
and
shapes,
which
is
unique
to
the
city
of
Hama,
and
a
third
room
in
the
same
section
tells
the
story
of
the
thread
and
the
stages
of
its
manufacture,
including
spinning
and
weaving
the
cloth,
in
addition
to
a
room
representing
the
game
of
sword
and
shield,
where
two
statues
in
equestrian
uniforms
are
available.
