Maktab Anbar is a historic building located in the old city of Damascus, Syria. Originally constructed in the late 19th century by a wealthy Jewish merchant named Yusuf Anbar, the building showcases a blend of traditional Damascene and European architectural styles. It was initially intended to be a luxurious residence but was later converted into a school and subsequently used for various cultural and educational purposes. Today, Maktab Anbar serves as a cultural center, hosting exhibitions, events, and workshops that celebrate Syrian heritage and arts.
