Ghazaleh House is one of the foremost examples of 17th century Ottoman architecture in Aleppo. It is located just outside the old city of Aleppo in one of the most prestigious and touristic areas of the city, the Jdeideh neighbourhood.

Beside traditional elements, like the beautiful courtyard, the fountain and the carved decorative stones, it boasts also well-preserved and high-quality wooden panels and — unique feature in Ottoman Aleppo — a large private hammam.

The house has been described in several publications about the old city of Aleppo and was used as a school in the 1970s. This state-owned mansion has been recently restored and transformed into a museum of the City of Aleppo by the DGAM (Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums) and the Municipality of Aleppo.
