Why were the domes important for Romans?

Domes were used as roofs for the hot rooms of some bathhouses, which were made in circular shape to accommodate the dome. In the western part of the Roman Empire they were used for a type of temple which had a rotunda with a dome on top. The most famous of these is the Pantheon in the city of Rome, which still has the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. In the eastern part of the Roman empire the pendentive dome became popular. It was used to for churches which had two to four domes.

What is qiblah wall?

The Qibla WallThe Prayer Wall, as it is sometimes called, is one of the most important areas of the mosque. In the photo of Magribija above, it is the wall on the right-hand side.This wall is very specifically orientated, and that is why mosques often seem misplaced as they face a completely different direction than the other buildings on the same street. It's also why, when you view a Muslim city from the air, all mosques are pointing in the same direction regardless of the countless directions all the other buildings in the city face.The mosque itself points towards Mecca, and if you picture the direction to Mecca as a straight line - then the Prayer Wall is the wall of the mosque that cuts across the top of it like the top of a letter 'T'. So that wall faces in the direction of Mecca
