#Hammam al-#Nahhasin… An archeological #masterpiece in #Aleppo Old City 😍☘️🌺

#Hammam al-#Nahhasin, one of the oldest and largest bathhouses in #Aleppo Old City. It is an archaeological #masterpiece that has preserved its aesthetic value over the years.

The visitors of #Hammam al-#Nahhasin go through small alleys to reach the bathhouse as it is located behind the #Great #Umayyad #Mosque where these alleys intersect with the roads leading to al- Shibani Church and the Farafra neighborhood.

Once you reach #Hammam al-#Nahhasin, you see a wooden door that invites you to go down a few steps to receive you in a spacious hall under antique stone domes adorned with copper chandeliers whose light shines on the place.

The central section of the #bathhouse is designated for a massage after the body wash. The external section is the largest part of the #Hammam, characterized with its traditional wooden decorations and marble floor. Here, bathers can take a period of relaxation around the pond.

A #holy #mass for the souls of the #earthquake victims at Our Lady's Cathedral for Melkite Catholics in #Aleppo presided over by Archbishop George #Masri, pastor of the Melkite Catholic Diocese of #Aleppo, with the participation of Cardinal Claudio #Gugerotti, Head of the Dicastery for Eastern Churches in Vatican, and Vatican Ambassador to #Syria, Cardinal Mario #Zenari.
