Green Dome, Dome over the Prophetic Chamber in the Prophet's Mosque, Medina, Saudi Arabia

The Green Dome is a ribbed green hemisphere on a white cylindrical base, topped by a golden finial of stacked spheres and a point, with a band of small recessed arches around its lower edge. It sits above the Sacred Chamber in the southeast corner of the Prophet's Mosque, and a green conical spire with white sections rises behind it above a crenellated wall.

Originally constructed as a simple wooden canopy in 1279 CE during the Mamluk period, the dome was rebuilt multiple times before receiving its current form in 1818 under Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II.

Millions of Muslim pilgrims visit the Green Dome annually as part of their spiritual journey, considering proximity to this sacred site a source of blessings and spiritual connection to early Islamic history.

The dome is located within the Prophet's Mosque complex in southeastern Medina, accessible to visitors who must observe strict protocols including dress codes and respectful behavior while in the sacred area.

Unlike other tomb structures in Medina that were demolished during Wahhabi reforms, the Green Dome survived due to its robust construction and remains the only colored dome marking a burial site in the mosque.
