Overview
In this brief article, we report on Bimaristan Arghun Al-Kamili in Aleppo, Syria, the first mental hospital built on a site that was a residential palace in medieval Islam (1354 AD). The bimaristan in Aleppo is a substantial stone building with quite complex plan standing on sound footings with a unique architecture. It is considered one of the most remarkable intact examples of Islamic bimaristans and the only one that was dedicated for the care of people with mental illness. It's architectural and space design are harmonic to the needs of patients with courtyards, single rooms and gurgling fountains and is a testimony to the humane care that people with mental illness received in medieval Islam.
