The eastern end of the Souq al-Hamidiyya from the plaza outside the Great Umayyad mosque (off-picture to the right), better showing the ruins of the Roman-era Temple to Jupiter. Much of it was subsumed into building the adjacent mosque during the 7th century AD; all that's left today are some Corinithian columns holding up a fragmented lintel.
