Khan As'ad Pasha (Arabic : خَان أَسْعَد بَاشَا , romanized : Khān ʾAsʿad Bāşā caravanserai (khān Old City of Damascus ,[1] ft ). Situated along Al-Buzuriyah Souq , it was built and named after As'ad Pasha al-Azm , the governor of Damascus, in 1751–52.[2] [3] [4]
Arched ablaq dome
Throughout the Ottoman era , it hosted caravans coming from Baghdad , Mosul , Aleppo , Beirut and elsewhere in the Middle East .[5] [6]
Architecture [ edit ]
The design of the khan included eight small domes and one large central opening reminiscent of Persian architecture, while the eight domes reflect Shia tradition. The covered courtyard features a high ceiling height which helped provide protection from the climate during the hot summer and cold winter seasons.[6]
