Bayt Basil is located on Raheb Bahira Street. This eighteenth century house features a well-planted courtyard of lemon and citrus trees and an ornamented iwan that is used as a chapel. The western reception room is covered with a punctuated dome that allows light through. It is currently used as the convent of the Basilian nuns of Aleppo. Source: Hadjar, Abdallah.
