The Azm Palace (Arabic: بيت العظم, Bayt al-ʿAẓm)[1] is an 18th-century Ottoman-era palace in Hama, Syria at the center of the city on the banks of the Orontes River, about 400 meters (1,300 ft) south of the Hama Citadel.[2] Ross Burns, author of Monuments of Syria (1999), reportedly considers the Azm Palace to be "one of the loveliest Ottoman residential buildings in Syria."[3] The palace has been used as a regional archaeology museum since 1956.[4]
