Damas use to smell orange and lemon blossom , each courtyard has it own citrus trees ,Today the hard pollution covered the city with a nasty black cloud , but in the old city you can still fine some tiny paradise who heardly survived .
wooden furnitur are made of complicated complexe design inlead with mother of pearl ,camel bones ,silver, and so one , nothing is simple nothing is plain , it is for them the ultimate richness ... the menwork the crafsmanship is the value
walls are covered with 3 types of stones from lime stone to basalt , it's a Fatemit style of construction . the decorations are carved in the stone and fillup with colored ciment , they still doing tha work perfectly .most of the time the first floor walls are made of mud breaks into a wooden skeleten ,,, it's stay for ever dancing walls around the city nothing is streat ! and nothing fowl it is miracle
That type of marble worke is a bit mor luxurious than normal , but the comun floors are very sophisticate any way
lots of turkish Otoman heritage
