The 1388 Palace of the Lady Tunshuq is found halfway down Aqabat al-Takiya – 150m east of the Hebron Youth Hostel. Though the facade is badly eroded, the uppermost of the three large doorways still has some beautiful inlaid marble work and the third door down is decorated with a Mamluk trademark, the stone ‘stalactites’ known as muqarnas. The palace complex now houses the awqaf Department Islamic Orphanage Secondary School.
