The Dome of the Rock is an iconic Islamic shrine located on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. Completed in 691-692 CE, it is one of the oldest extant works of Islamic architecture and holds religious significance for Muslims, Jews, and Christians. The structure features a large, gilded dome that is visible from various points around the city. The rock at its center is believed by Muslims to be the spot from which the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven during the Night Journey. In Jewish tradition, it is considered the site where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac.
