Yabrud: Streetlife with shops and residential houses, townspeople and peasants

Yabrud: Streetlife with shops and residential houses, townspeople and peasants

Street view with houses and a village scene of a farmer with cart and draught animal. The buildings along the road show a local architecture (of the Qalamun Mountains): one to two-storey stone facades with triple openings in the upper floors. Middle door and side windows, all with round arches and a balcony in front. A symmetrical stone façade made of cleanly carved limestone and slender arched windows. These houses will probably be built in the first quarter of the twentieth century.
