Architectural dome on the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina, Saudi Arabia For the Abbasid palace in Baghdad, see Palace of the Golden Gate . The Green Dome ( Arabic : ٱَلْقُبَّة ٱلْخَضْرَاء , romanized : al-Qubbah al-Khaḍrāʾ , Hejazi Arabic pronunciation: [al.ɡʊb.ba al.xadˤ.ra] ) is a green-coloured dome built above the tombs of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the early Rashidun Caliphs Abu Bakr ( r. 632–634 ) and Omar ( r. 634–644 ), which used to be the chamber of Aisha . The dome is located in the southeast corner of Al-Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina , present-day Saudi Arabia . Millions visit it every year, since it is a tradition to visit the mosque after or before the pilgrimage to Mecca . The structure dates from 678 AH (1279/1280 CE), when an unpainted wooden cupola was built over the tomb. It was later rebuilt and painted using different colours (blue and silver) twice in the late 15th century and once in 1817 CE . The dome was first painted green in 1837 CE, and hence became known as the "Green Dome". Dictionary of Islamic Architecture .
