Great Umayyad Mosque photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Damascus is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world and the
Umayyad Mosque stands on a site that has been considered sacred ground for at least 3,000
years!
A major restoration was undertaken by the Ottomans, but much of the original beauty and
decoration were lost in that undertaking.
