An ideal view of the city of Jerusalem, with Solomon's Temple in its center

Solomon's Temple was the First Temple of the Jews, originally constructed by King Solomon on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem.[1] It was built on the remains of the Jerusalem Vault, an Isu temple.[2]

In 1191, Al Mualim sent the Assassins Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Kadar and Malik Al-Sayf to the vault beneath the temple to retrieve an important artifact held within a casing.[3]

The temple's architecture later served as an inspiration for the Sistine Chapel that was built in Rome in the late 15th century.[4]
