Deir al-Qamar, reception area royal apts

Deir al-Qamar is an old town whose buildings, such as a 14th-century mosque and the municipal complex this room is part of, are still in use. This room was part of the royal apartments used when Deir al-Qamar had the honor of hosting the ruler or his envoy. This room has apparently not been restored, so the original wood ceiling and window screens (and stonework) is intact. I have many other pictures detailing the intricately engraved and painted ceiling.
