Summary
Description KhanSour-KhanAlAshkar TyreSour RomanDeckert16082019.jpg |
English:
The front part of the 16th century building Khan Sour in Tyre/Sour, Southern Lebanon, seen from the inner courtyard. It was constructed as the residence Ottoman Emir Younes Al-Maani and "subsequently became the property of the Franciscan fathers." The building was later used as a garrison and transformed into a Khan, "traditionally a large rectangular courtyard with a central fountain, surrounded by covered galleries". French troops used the building during both World Wars as a base. In 1982, its second storey was heavily damaged by Israeli bombardment. The ruins are still standing though in the centre of today's Souk marketplace area and are also known as Khan Al-Ashkar.
العربية:
الجزء الأمامي من مبنى خان صور (خان الأشقر) الذي يعود للقرن السادس عشر في صور، جنوب لبنان، كما يبدو من الباحة الداخلية. بُني كمقر إقامة للأمير العثماني يونس المعني و "أصبح فيما بعد ملكا للآباء الفرنسيسكان". استُخدم المبنى لاحقًا كحامية وحُوِل إلى خان، وكان الخان "تقليديًا فناءً كبيرًا مستطيل الشكل مع نافورة في الوسط، محاطة بشرفات مغطاة". استخدمت القوات الفرنسية المبنى خلال الحربين العالميتين كقاعدة. في عام 1982، أصيب طابقه الثاني بأضرار جسيمة جراء القصف الإسرائيلي. لا تزال الأنقاض قائمة في وسط السوق اليوم ويعرف أيضًا باسم خان الأشقر.
