The Ayyubid dynasty, founded by Saladin, left an indelible mark on history. The Mausoleum of Saladin stands as a testament to his legacy, with its marble coffin now empty but still resonating with the echoes of his greatness. In Jerusalem, the Ayyubid Mosque of Omar stands tall, a symbol of religious harmony and architectural brilliance. William the Conqueror may have had a ragtag army of Normans, but it was Saladin who proved himself as a formidable leader. Engravings depict him in all his glory, commanding respect and admiration from both friends and foes alike. One such foe was King Richard I, who found himself locked in battle with Saladin at the Battle of Arsuf in Palestine. It was a clash between two titans that would forever be etched in history books. But perhaps one of the most decisive moments came during the Battle of Hattin on that fateful 4th July 1187. Color lithographs vividly portray this historic event where Saladin's forces emerged victorious against their Crusader adversaries. The exotic allure of Eastern culture is captured within the Citadel and Tombs of Mamluks in Cairo – an enchanting glimpse into another world. And speaking of tombs, Damascus holds its own treasure: The Mausoleum of Saladin itself – built to honor this legendary figure whose influence transcended borders. Syria's Citadel in Aleppo beckons visitors through its grand entrance – an invitation to explore centuries-old history preserved within its walls. Meanwhile, images from Monuments de Tous les Peuples transport us back to nineteenth-century Jerusalem when the Ayyubid Mosque stood proudly amidst changing times. From mausoleums to mosques and battles fought for power or faith; these glimpses into Ayyubid history remind us that even long after their time has passed, their impact continues to shape our world.
