Dome of the Spirits

Dome of the Spirits

The Dome of the Spirits is a small octagonal dome located close to the Dome of al-Khidr. It is based on eight marble columns attached to eight arches carrying the dome’s drum. The structure was probably built during the 10th century CE. It is frequented regularly by sufis and is used as a place for making dhikr.
