Beit Al-Agha بيت الآغا
Few days ago, I went with my parents and Brother's wife to Safita. As usual, there was a stop in Homs where we had lunch in Beit Al Agha. An old Arabic style house with a huge yard and a unique design that is not very much seen in Damascus: the use of black stones, basiltic stones.
The place is very nice from inside, and contrary to the name, it seems that no Aghas have dwelt here before.

ohh really...just out of curiosity, who do you know there... my mom is half leb half safitalian
I know many (as I am 'safitalian') from خوري، بشور، حنا، عبيد، جبور، and others... I am surely not going to be able to name them all.
Welcome.
I have been there many times (my family lives in Homs) - I love it - nice to see historic architecture re-born for modern time - especially such a striking example!
I would like to post this image. I am with a news service and have an image of the Beit al-Agha restaurant as it looks now largely destroyed. How can I get permission to use your image?
