Descripción del sitio
The entrance gateway to this khan "The Soap Khan" is considered one of the greatest examples of Mameluke architecture in Aleppo, according to Monuments of Syria. It was constructed in the late 15th century by the governor Adzemir. The central building, which the marker is directly over, is a warehouse, built later. Like the Great Mosque nearby, this khan is effectively connected to the suq complex, geographically and conceptually. Nowadays, most of these medieval travelers' hotels (there are many, most not architecturally or historically striking) have been turned into storage space and workshops for various trades, since they are conveniently connected to the suqs.
