Summary

edit
Description
English: The Muristan, view from the south-east. Photograph by H. H. Kitchener, 1874, for the Palestine Exploration Fund. The buildings of the Hospitaller complex continued to house pilgrims through the 16th century, although the buildings were not maintained and they fell into ruin. In the 16th century the Sultan quarried the buildings to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and in the 19th century dressed stones from the Muristan were re-used to build the Church of the Redeemer. This photo records the appearance of what appears to be the kitchens of the complex (tinted red). Beyond is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, tinted blue.

Licensing

edit
This Egyptian work is currently in the public domain in Egypt because its copyright has expired pursuant to the provisions of Intellectual Property Law 82 of 2002. The 2002 law, which repealed Copyright Law 354 of 1954, was not retroactive, meaning that works which had fallen into the public domain in 2002 remain out-of-copyright in Egypt (details).

In order to be hosted on Commons, all works must be in the public domain in the United States as well as in their source country. Egyptian works that are currently in the public domain in the United States are those whose copyright had expired in Egypt on the U.S. date of restoration (January 1, 1996) pursuant to the provisions of the old 1954 law which was in effect at the time.
