    Nur al-Din Bimaristan is a large medieval hospital located in Damascus, Syria. It was built and named after the Zengid Sultan Nur ad-Din in 1154 AD. The bimaristan is well known for its unusual portal, which displays an antique lintel and a curious flattened muqarnas vault. It was restored in 1975 AD and now houses the Museum of Medicine and Science in the Arab World. Nur al-Din Bimaristan was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 as part of Ancient City of Damascus.
    The site is one of the elements that make up the UNESCO World Heritage site, Ancient City of Damascus.
