The '''Dome of the Rock''' is an {{Wiki|Islam|Islamic}} {{Wiki|mosque}} and major landmark located in the city of [[Jerusalem]]. It was built between 689 and 691 CE atop of the [[Temple Mount]], and the landmark was believed to be built on the "farthest mosque"(could be referring to Solomon's Temple) that the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, came to during the {{Wiki|Isra and Mi'raj|Night Journey}}.<br />
<br />
As one of the most recognized and important Islamic shrines in the city, the site of the Temple Mount is coveted by the three religions of Islam, {{Wiki|Judaism}} and {{Wiki|Christianity}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Though the dome appears golden in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', it was not gilded until 1963. It was covered with black lead during the [[Third Crusade]], had a cross on the top, and was converted into a Christian church until Jerusalem was recaptured by [[Salāḥ ad-Dīn]].<br />
*A [[View Points|view point]] was positioned on top of the roof, as the top of the dome itself was inaccessible.<br />
*[[Solomon's Temple]] could be located beneath the Dome of the Rock, since the temple's entrance was somewhere around a building near to the dome.<br />
*The simulated map of Jerusalem in the [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|second stage]] of the [[Animi Training Program]] took place near to the dome.<br />

The '''Umayyad Mosque''', also known as the '''Great Mosque of Damascus''', was located in the Rich District of [[Damascus]], and considered the fourth-holiest place in the {{Wiki|Islam|Islamic}} religion.<br />
<br />
It was constructed on the site of an ancient {{Wiki|Christianity|Christian}} basilica dedicated to [[John the Baptist]](Yahya) between 706 and 715. The mosque was especially known for its three minarets, the Minaret of the Bride, the Minaret of [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]](Isa) and the Minaret of Quayt Bey. <br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Each of the three minarets of the Umayyad Mosque serves as a [[view Points|view point]]. The highest view point in Damascus is located atop the Minaret of the Bride. However, in reality, the highest minaret of the Umayyad Mosque is the Minaret of Jesus, which appears rather small in comparison in the game.<br />
*During Damascus' [[Roman Empire|Roman]] period, the ancient building served as a temple for [[Jupiter]].<br />
*In 1196, a mausoleum for [[Salāḥ ad-Dīn|Saladin]] was built next to the northwest corner of the mosque.<br />
*After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] conquered Damascus in 1516, [[Selim I]] attended the first Friday prayer in the Umayyad Mosque.<br />
* Muslims traditions holds that Jesus, who is believed to be a Messenger of God, will descend on the Minaret of Jesus before the End Times, marking his second coming.<br />
