Domes · Between the Islamic Museum and Al-Qibli
An Ottoman domed shelter in the sanctuary’s southern courtyard. [1]
A square base and low dome identify this small building between the museum and Al-Qibli. Its southern wall contains a mihrab, while its other sides are open. [1]
Awqaf attributes the building to the governor Yusuf Agha in 1092 AH. It is distinct from the Dome of Yusuf on the raised platform, whose name commemorates Saladin. Keeping the two names separate prevents a common mix-up in captions and search. [1][2]
