She returned home after thinking it was lost forever.

Marah Sultan, a young woman living with her family in a traditional Aleppian house, shares her childhood memories and how life has returned to its walls after the war.

Documenting these buildings isn't just about numbers; it's about preserving stories of resilience. Through our project Documenting and Mapping the Current Status of Historic Buildings in Aleppo's Old City, we worked to protect this memory.

A joint project of the Museum for Islamic Art in Berlin and the Association Friends of the Museum for Islamic Art (FMIK e.V.), a part of the Syrian Heritage Archive Project (SHAP), funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt).
