History
 Great Mosque of
Damascus (Syria), 706-715
Umayyads/2nd Caliphate/
preexisting Roman square
towers/ minarets
 The interior walls of Great
Mosque of Damascus have stone
mosaics that depict crowns,
fantastic plants, realistic trees, and
even empty towns.
 This is thought to represent
Paradise for the faithful Muslim.
 Both the Dome of the Rock in
Jerusalem and The Great Mosque
of Damascus used the Syrian cut-
stone technique of building and
popularized the use of the dome.
The minaret in the
southeastern
corner is called
the Minaret of
Jesus, because
of a Muslim
tradition that this
is where Jesus
will appear on the
Prayer room
