Overview
A small, partly open domed structure carrying inscriptions from different periods. [3]
The Dome of Yusuf is a small shelter on the southern part of the raised terrace. Two northern columns and a solid southern wall support the dome, leaving three sides open. [3]
Awqaf attributes the building to al-Hajj Ali, acting under Yusuf Agha in 1092 AH, with its dedication recalling Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub. An older inscription commemorates Saladin’s wall and moat work; that inscription is not a date for the whole standing canopy. [3]
It is distinct from the Dome of Yusuf Agha near the museum and Al-Qibli. The shared name reflects connected patronal history, but the two structures occupy different places and levels. [3][4]
