This mosque holds great religious importance. After the Muslim conquest of Damascus in 634, the site kept its religious significance. During his reign from 705 to 715, Caliph al-Walid I transformed the cathedral into the mosque we see today, starting a new chapter of cultural and religious meaning. The mosque became known for its unique architectural features like the horseshoe arch, the square minaret, and the Maqsurah, which started here and influenced Muslim architecture worldwide. The mosque stands as a proud reminder of the rich period of Muslim civilization, telling a historical and cultural story that spans many ages.
