Sissi House

Built during the flourishing Aleppine arak , this building reflects a fusion of Damascene architecture with Italian Baroque influences. Its wooden ceiling is adorned with nymph sculptures, holding groups of grapes, while the courtyard has glued to stained glass, casting a daytime rainbow effect. At the center, a star-shaped fountain rests on white and navy marble flooring. After the Sissi family departure in 1950, the building was repurposed as a primary school before undergoing restoration and transforming into Aleppine Fine Arts Museum in 2002. The upper hall now shows the works of Fathi Mohammad and Louay Kayali. During the summer months, the museum hosts painting workshops for children, teaching the acrylic technique on wood directly beneath the ornately carved ceiling, filling the modern art with the Ottoman-era aesthetics.
