The Dome of the Rock is an Islamic
shrine located on the Temple Mount in the Old City
of Jerusalem. It was initially completed in 691–92 CE at the order of Umayyad
Caliph Abd al-Malik during the Second Fitna on the site of
the Second Jewish Temple, destroyed during the Roman Siege
of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The original dome collapsed in 1015 and was rebuilt
in 1022–23. The Dome of the Rock is in its core one of the oldest extant works
of Islamic architecture.
