EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the exterior of the historic Nur al-Din Bimaristan, an ancient hospital and architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Damascus, Syria. Built in 1153 during the Ayyubid period, this remarkable structure served as a medical center for over eight centuries, making it one of the oldest continuously operating hospitals in the world. The name Bimaristan translates to "house of the sick," reflecting its original purpose as a place of healing and refuge. The intricate stonework and elegant arches of the hospital's exterior are a testament to the artistic and architectural achievements of the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. The building's design is a fine example of the Iraqi type of hospital, which features a central courtyard surrounded by arcades and individual cells for patients. In the twelfth century, Nur al-Din Zangi, the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty, commissioned the construction of the hospital as part of his efforts to promote medicine and scientific knowledge in the region. Over the centuries, the hospital treated patients from all walks of life, regardless of their ability to pay. Today, the Nur al-Din Bimaristan stands as a museum of medicine and science in the Arab World, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history of medical practices and scientific discoveries in the Near East. This photo was taken before the Syrian civil war, capturing the hospital's grandeur and significance as a cultural and historical landmark.
