The Mamluk Dome of the Rock Restoration: 1545

6 min•2 maj 2026

This episode dives into the little-known story of the Mamluk restoration of the Dome of the Rock in 1545. While Suleiman the Magnificent is famous for rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, the Dome of the Rock had already undergone a major repair by the Mamluks under Sultan Qaitbay just decades earlier. Lucas and Luna discuss the 1545 restoration, which was prompted by structural damage from earthquakes. They explore the work of the Mamluk craftsmen, the materials used, and the political context of the Ottoman-Mamluk rivalry. The episode also touches on the inscriptions added by Qaitbay, the role of the Haram al-Sharif as a religious center, and the broader significance of maintaining the Dome of the Rock as a symbol of Muslim rule. Listeners will learn about the specific tilework, the gilding of the dome, and the meticulous engineering that preserved the building for centuries.
