 studies the
 guide      
                   
              The souk of Aleppo is entirely covered and rather not very tourist. We thus find the  
              majority of the products necessary to the everyday life of the Syrians.

The bimaristan Argoun :  
   old psychiatric hospital renovated in museum . 
 We pass from room to room to follow the evolutions in the treatment of the patients 
                   
              First court: the dangerous ones. They were locked up with windows giving on a small calm 
              court with a fountain and musicians to alleviate the patients. Pollux into insane... 
                 The patients could saunter in the second court  
 
                   
              the third court is even more open…           the fourth accepts the visitors . 
The large mosque : 
 
                
            the style of the souk perspires in the large mosque
