Renovating an 17th century courtyard house in Damascus

 

 

400 year old, stone house inside the Roman walls of old town Damascus, a few winding alleys away from the street called straight. A couple of thousand years ago, St Paul may well have passed by while escaping over the Roman wall in a basket. The rooms surround a courtyard and fountain, the serenity inside the courtyard is irresistible, I had to try my hand at renovating it.
