Jamiʿ al-ʿAdiliyya, general view of central dome

Jamiʿ al-ʿAdiliyya, general view of central dome

View from the minaret to the lead-covered dome, which was placed on a short cylindrical wall (tambour). The eight short buttresses at the corners of the roof above the prayer room, which are supposed to compensate for the transverse forces of the dome, are clearly visible.
