Painting description: The four Islamic historical sites around the dome were built under the Omayyad dynasty as Damascus was the capital city of the whole Islamic world. From each city (Damascus, Aleppo, Cordoba and Granada) I have chosen the most beautiful historical building and made a surrounding environment that match it story. The four stories together with the dome and the four columns complete the whole painting idea. The glaring light in the middle of the Dome present the rise of Islam while the dome itself symbolizes the time.
