On the evening of my second arrival in Damascus, دمشق‎, September 2009, I strolled from the old Hijaz railroad station to the South, then turning left came into an area with a market drawing to a close. In the end I found myself in front of the fine Sinan Paşa Mosque with its close neighbour Madrasa Sibaiye. I was so enchanted by this stroll that I returned next day, when I saw a bit more of these buildings. I decided to start with the pictures of the two mosques, and then pretend we'll start our stroll, which is distorting time, but that is modern life for you. I have, much later, identified some individual spots and named them. You can find some locations of pictures using the map view.
