History
Description
On the outside, the bottom half of the building has white marble, but the top half has a teal colored paint and mosaics. The tiles and mosaics on the outside are replicas because the originals got destroyed in 1545. The inside of the building also has mosaics and Arabic inscriptions from the Qur'an and honoring Al-mamun who helped create the building. Some of the columns from the Dome of the Rock were originally used in other structures and some of the crosses that are there were taken from different churches.
