Abstract

During the Mamluk era, Damascus was again the capital of the Levant area and the main passage for the Hajj convoys that travelled from all of the countries in the east to Mecca. This research establishes a study of the relationship between Mamluk political and religious concepts concerning the distribution of the main Islamic buildings in Damascus, the impact of this distribution on the urban planning of the city and, finally, the impact of all these factors on its interior design.
