This palace, attributed to the al-Kīlāni family, was used as a reception house for official guests; it was entirely destroyed in 1982, the day the old city was bombed. This study aims at demonstrating what makes it a reception house from the Ottoman era (18th century) and increasing knowledge of this period that has received less attention even though architectural and decorative wealth was valorised. To this end, we will conduct an analysis of its main architectural and decorative elements.

Elle porte les n°S cadastraux 296 et 265 de la région appelée al-Warša. Elle possède un grand nombre de vestiges remarquables (XIII e siècle). Son intérêt archéologique provient de sa qāʻa nord, de son īwān, et de l'accès par un passage coudé vers la cour intérieure. Une inscription gravée sur une pierre figurant à la base des fondations apporte une indication historique. L'objet de ce travail est donc de parvenir à montrer qu'il s'agit d'une demeure remontant à tout le moins à l'époque mamelouke. Pour ce faire on procédera à une analyse de ses éléments architecturaux et décoratifs. SUMMARY: The house, the object of this study, is located inside the wall of Homs. It bears the cadastral 296 and 265 of the region called al-Warša. It has a large number of remarkable vestiges (XIII th century). Its archaeological interest originates from its qāʻa nord, its īwān, and access through a bent passage to the inner courtyard. An inscription engraved on a stone at the base of the foundations gives a historical indication. The object of this work is therefore to show that it is a house that was at least at the time Mamluk. To do so, an analysis of its architectural and decorative elements will be performed.

Summary: The house, object of this study, is located inside the wall of Homs. It has the cadastral number 337 of the region called al-Warša and covers an area of 816 m². It has a large number of remarkable traces probably Mamluk (thirteenth-fourteenth centuries). Its archaeological interest comes from the remains of its unique western interior facade, its portal and access through a passageway to the inner courtyard. The purpose of this work is therefore to show that this is a mansion dating back to the Mamluk era. To do this we will proceed to a complete analysis of its architectural and decorative elements and we will attempt to locate it in relation to other precisely dated buildings. 2018.

Cette maison habitée jusqu'à 2011, mais en mauvais état, n'a jamais été étudiée. Elle possède un grand nombre de vestiges remarquables. Elle s'étend sur deux étages et sur une surface de 242,9 m. Elle offre une particularité : son rez-de-chaussée est situé à 2,18 m au-dessous du niveau de la ruelle, indice d'ancienneté de cette demeure peu remaniée. Son intérêt archéologique provient des vestiges de sa qāʻa nord, de son īwān, et de l'accès par un passage non coudé vers la cour intérieure. Son sol, en cours de déblaiement apportera sans doute d'autres informations. Aucune inscription ne permet de la dater précisément. L'objet de ce travail est donc de montrer qu'il s'agit d'une maison remontant probablement à l'époque mamelouke. Pour ce faire on procédera à une analyse complète de ses éléments architecturaux et décoratifs et on tentera de la situer par rapport à d'autres maisons datées précisément. Abstract: A house from the Mameluk period (15th-16th c.) in Damas and its evolution. The house studied in the article is located on cadastral parcel Nr. 434, inside the defensive wall of Damas. Inhabited until 2011, the house was in bad condition and had never been studied. It possesses numerous remarkable traits. It has two floors, occupying a surface of 242,9 m². One of the most striking trait is the 2,18 m high elevation of the ground floor from street level, indicating how little modifications the house actually received in its long existence. The archaeological interests of the house are the remains of the northern qāʻa, the īwān, and the straight passageway to the interior courtyard. Its floor is currently being cleared out and will undoubtebly reveal more information. There is no inscription that can help date this house. This work aims to prove its probable Mameluk period datation. To do so, a complete analysis of its architectural and decorative elements will be implemented and we will compare it to other houses which were precisely dated.

The residence is two-levelled. The ground floor is made up of an inner yard around which the living and reception rooms are situated, as well as an īwān, a small cellar and outbuildings. The yard of the house now offers two remarkable front walls, south and north, built in white calcareous stones and black basalt. They are decorated with panels showing geometric patterns, probably going back to the Mamluk period (14th-15th centuries). Both façades are not compatible with the eastern and western front walls of the house, which seem to have been constructed at a later period (18th to 19th centuries).
