I took a picture of a rose dome...Damascus has hundreds of rose domes
which go back to the 13th 14th and 15th century
Between 250–1517 the mamluks who were slave soldiers from central Asia
took over Syria and Egypt
during this period they built many shrines
which are buildings over the tombs of important saints
and at times rulers
and these buildings were in the shape of domes
which were rose in color
Damascus has hundreds of rose domes
