    It is very beautiful, and it is older in history than Al-Azm Palace in Damascus. The workers are kind and deserve thanks, and the entrance fees are cheap and affordable for everyone, but there is a large section of it that is closed and has not been revived. If the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities took care of it, it would be more beautiful and wonderful.

    Al-Azem Palace in Hama is one of the most beautiful monuments overlooking the Orontes River, about 400 meters south of Hama Citadel, where it is decorated with inscriptions that makes Arab and western poets fascinated by its beauty such as Ross Burns, author of Monuments of Syria, who reportedly considers Al-Azem Palace to be “one of the loveliest Ottoman residential buildings in Syria”. The Palace was built in 1742 by the Ottoman governor, As’ad Pasha al-Azem, as his residence, and it served the continuing line of Azem governors in Hama until the end of family rule in the 19th century, Head of Hama Architecture Directorate Seham Zakkar said. al-Azem palace Hama In the era of Nasouh Pasha al-Azem, the palace turned from the governor house to be a house special for the Harem “women” called Haramlek. The palace has been used as a museum since 1956, displaying archaeological findings from sites in and around Hama, including the citadel, Zakkar added, pointing out that a noteworthy exhibit is that of a Roman mosaic depicting a musician playing a lyre. Al-Azm Palace in Hama has courtyards on each of its two floors, where the courtyard on the ground floor has a fountain in the middle and is decorated with trees planted to provide shade, and a liwan with three sides is located at one end, to provide seating for residents. As for the courtyard on the second floor, its purpose is to make use of breezes and cool air, and there are stairs lead to the upper courtyard, where there is a grand reception room, protecting the facade is an arched portico, while every surface inside the building is decorated with painted woodwork, banded stonework, patterned marble, and a large dome is built above the central, Zakkar continued to say. The other rooms inside are also decorated with both fountains and painted panels of birds and trees.In addition, the rooms that open into the upper courtyard contain “popular tradition” displays, with costumed mannequins depicting everyday scenes of Syrian life , and close to the entrance area is the Azem Palace’s private Hamaam “bath”. However, the hamaam seems to have been available for use by the public. The smaller courtyard at the lower floor served as the haramlek, or family and women’s quarters. al-Azem palace Hama 1 Burns says that the haramlek is particularly noteworthy.The palace has a single-floor guest wing on the western side, vaulted service quarters on the eastern side, and the second floor was the family residence , as there is a direct entrance to the Madafa (guest room) and the southern liwan, which also gives passage to the service wing and the Aezm family tomb. A larger palace with the same basic plan, also known as the Azem Palace, was built in Damascus by As’ad Pasha when he became governor of that city in 1743.

    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.
