مآذن المسجد الحرام حتى نهاية العصر العثماني : دراسة تاريخية معمارية

Abstract EN

Some historical sources mentioned to us about the minarets of the Sacred Mosque, in terms of construction, restoration and renovation, and many eastern and Moroccan travelers described these minarets, and their information, descriptions and observations of them varied, except that there was no independent study describing the minarets of the Sacred Mosque with an accurate architectural description, and from here the importance of the research is evident in the study of the minarets of the Grand Mosque, an independent study concerned with the historical and architectural aspects of these minarets.

this study aims to identify the emergence of minarets in the Sacred Mosque, its architecture, its development, and the renovations and renovations that have occurred on it.

in different periods, they were eyewitnesses to the architecture of the Grand Mosque, and the additions, repairs and renovations that took place in its minarets.

it also adopted the architectural descriptive approach to the minarets of the Grand Mosque through what was stated in the books of historians and travelers, and through the last pictures of the minarets of the Grand Mosque in the late Ottoman era, and the beginnings of the Saudi era , and that was before its removal in the first Saudi expansion in the year 1375 AH / 1956 AD, and one of the most important results of the study is the diversity and multiplicity of forms of minarets in Islamic architecture.

the door of Umrah, and the names of the minarets of the Grand Mosque are linked to the names of the doors and the schools adjacent to them, such as the schools of Sultan Qaytbay and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.
