This research reconstructs the formation process of the Great Mosque of Damascus and the surrounding urban tissues by re-interpreting them as a result of a continuous transitional process. Previous studies have not provided sufficient evidence on the nature of the transition from a temple to a church and to an early mosque.

Abstract

This research reconstructs the formation process of the Great Mosque of Damascus and the surrounding urban tissues by re-interpreting them as a result of a continuous transitional process. Previous studies have not provided sufficient evidence on the nature of the transition from a temple to a church and to an early mosque. This research investigates the transitional phases between the major transformations i.e., between the 2nd-3rd and 5th-6th Centuries.
