Nur al-Din Bimaristan
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.
