Points Of Interest for The Green Dome

Sultaan Qalawoon al-Saalihi originally built the dome over the sacred room in 678 AH. It stood on the pillars that surrounded the space and were constructed of wood. It had an octagonal top and a square bottom. The wooden cage was used in place of the brick cage, with lead plates covering the timber planks. The leaden plates slid when al-Naasir Hasan ibn Muhammad Qalawoon rebuilt the dome, but they were fixed and upgraded by al-Ashraf Sha'baan ibn Husayn ibn Muhammad in 765 AH. In 881 AH, Sultaan Qayit Bey had to restore it after it had fallen into disrepair.

The chamber and dome of the Prophet's mosque were destroyed by fire in 886 AH. Sultaan Qayit Bey restored the dome during his rule in 887 AH, and the mosque's floor was laid with robust pillars to sustain it. They were brick-built to the required height.
