Description

Explore the history of one of the oldest continuously used religious sites in the world. This expansive illustrated history by Alain George examines the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, a site with layers of deep significance. Built in 705 CE by the Umayyad caliph al-Walid, the structure stands on the site of a fourth-century Christian church and an ancient temple of Jupiter. Part of the Gingko Library Art Series, this book provides a comprehensive biography of the mosque. It traces how the site has been rebuilt over centuries following damage from fires and earthquakes, yet remained almost unscathed through recent conflicts. This volume offers a detailed look at the art, faith, and empire that shaped this historic landmark.
