The history of the mosque :
Its history goes back three thousand years. This location was first used as a temple dedicated to the worship of Hadad, who an the Aramean god. In the 1st century AD, a large temple was built by the Romans and was dedicated to the Roman god of gods, Jupiter.
When Christianity began to spread, the Emperor Theodosius made it a cathedral.
When Arabs invaded the area, it remained a church although the Muslims built a mud brick structure against the southern wall so that they could pray. Through time Christians became few and Muslims were increasing, so it was changed into a mosque. It was worked on by Architects from Constantinople, Egypt, and Damascus. The history of the mosque
