Restoration effort at Hisham’s Palace in occupied West Bank was launched five years ago
Palestinian authorities have unveiled one of the largest floor mosaics in the world in the occupied West Bank city of Jericho after years of restoration.
Resembling a fine carpet, the vast mosaic covers 836 sq metres (8,998 sq ft) at Hisham’s Palace, an Umayyad Islamic desert castle dating from the eighth century.
