This is the situation you see when you have been walking down Suq al-Hamidiye and seen the propylaeum, an arch that marked the western ouder end of the Temple of Jupiter that used to stand on the spot now occupied by the mosque. Next there are a few arches of a Byzantine arcade, built as part of a shopping complex in 330-340 that linked the outer and inner enclosures.

Ahead the entrance to the mosque.
