Indeed @jhonnygo. With today's digital technology, we are fortunate to experience architectural relics from the past, although virtual but close to the actual events themselves. Thank you for your appreciation.
As for the dome interior of the Umayyad Palace, I believe the majority of the construction materials used were wooden elements. If you zoom in on that specific photo in my post, you'll clearly see it. What were your initial impressions?
Impressive restoration work on the dome and the rest of the structure, you can see the difference.
What has never been clear to me or I do not see it well, is my opinion, it is the restoration of the ruins.
For me, it no longer has the charm of ruin, it's just my opinion, greetings.
That's alright. During my visit, the restoration efforts were not obvious to the public as only a few specialists were working on the site. I almost haven't noticed them. Thank you for your personal opinion and observations. 😊
