Hisham’s palace is thought to be built during the Umayyad rein in Palestine, particularly at the time of Calipha Hisham, the 10th Umayyad Caliph to rule the Islamic Empire, and arguably the last dominating representative of that dynasty. Because the palace was never completely built, it was forgotten and covered in sand until British archeologists discovered it in the year 1937. The structure shows itself shows some figural representations of early Islamic art, however, the dome and some of the decorations of the palace reflect Christian, Byzantine and Persian influences.Source: www.AtlasTours.net
