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.
[3] The mausoleum presently houses two sarcophagi: one made of wood, said to contain Saladin's remains, and one made of marble, was built in homage to Saladin in late nineteenth century by Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II and was later restored by German emperor Wilhelm II.
[4][5] Along with a marble sarcophagus, a golden ornate gilt bronze wreath was also put on the marble sarcophagus, which was later removed by either Faisal I or Lawrence of Arabia, who later deposited it in the Imperial War Museum.
[3] In August 2003, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and his wife Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali visited the mosque.
