The Mausoleum of Saladin holds the resting place and grave of the medieval Muslim Ayyubid Sultan Saladin. It is adjacent to the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria.[1] It was built in 1196, three years after the death of Saladin.[2]
The mausoleum presently houses two sarcophagi: one made of wood, said to contain Saladin's remains, and one made of marble, donated by Kaiser Wilhelm II.[3]
