Ma'danat al-Shahm

Summary

edit
Description
English: For as far as I could see there may have been a mosque, but this minaret seemed to have lost that. The name is from Google Maps, I think instead of "Tallow" a word like "grease" or "oil" might have been just as well. In Ross Burns' Damascus, A history, I read this is the Ma'danat al-Shahm (1368-69), and that it is built on a probably Roman plinth. It formerly marked a crossing of streets as a tetrakionion.
