The Great Umayyad Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of Damascus, is one of the oldest and largest mosques in the world and the fourth holiest site in Islam. Built atop a basilica dedicated to St. John the Baptist after the Islamic conquest of Damascus in 634 AD, the mosque symbolizes the Islamic Caliphate's influence and architectural ingenuity. The Umayyad Caliphate, particularly under Caliph al-Walid, played a crucial role in its construction, commissioning the mosque on the site of a Byzantine cathedral in 706. The mosque, completed in 715 CE, showcased the Umayyad dynasty's grandeur, serving as a testament to their architectural and cultural achievements.
