In September 2009 I paid my second visit to Damascus, دمشق‎, in the mean time I had bought the invaluable “The monuments of Syria” by Ross Burns, the ultimate guide for in-depth visits to the country. With the help of that book I located almost any monument in an area, Salihiye, where there are lots of grave monuments, Koran schools and mosques. Unfortunately many of them were closed, but since the interior is generally plain in comparison with the entrance part I could live with that. In 2010 I took another look and some more pictures. You can find some locations using the map view.
