Description:
The Madrasa al-Firdaws in Aleppo (1235-36): Founded by Dhayfa Khatun, the strong wife of the Ayyubid ruler of Aleppo al-Zahir Ghazi. This is the most celebrated Syrian madrasa and the finest example of austere stone architecture. It is balanced in composition and conservative in decoration with a fine mihrab topped with a “Syrian knot,” a decorative element that later spread to Anatolia.
