THE DOME OF THE ROCK
PALESTINE, 691
Umayyad Caliph Abd Al-Malik
Umayyad/Ottoman
-
Jerusalem’s UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The originally wooden dome is replaced by aluminum-bronze plates
covered with gold leaf.
The Foundation Stone on which the temple is built has great religious significance for Jewish as the place where God created the world and the sacrifice of Abraham and for Muslims as the point from where Muhammad ascended to heaven.
