The Al Azem palace is one of the must-see buildings in Damascus, Syria.
A traditional palace with courtyards, fountains, and historic chambers, the Al Azem was originally built in 1750 as a residence for the Ottoman governor of Damascus As'ad Pasha al-Azm. The palace now houses the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions.
For cat lovers, however, the true draw isn't the palace's beauty but that of its many cats.
