'''Solomon's Temple''', or '''Holy of Holies''', was the biblical First Temple of the Jews, originally constructed by King Solomon on Mount Moriah in [[Jerusalem]]. It was designed to hold the [[Ark of the Covenant]], and a [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]].

[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], [[Malik A-Sayf]] and [[Kadar A-Sayf]] were sent by [[Al Mualim]] to retrieve and secure the [[Sixth Apple|Templar treasure]] located here in 1191. Upon arrival, Altaïr violated the first tenet of [[the Creed]] by murdering an innocent, elderly man, whom Altaïr believed could have alerted the guards.


The Assassins found [[Robert de Sable]] and his men in the temple's primary chamber, about to reach the [[Sixth Apple|Piece of Eden]]. Altaïr imprudently attacked de Sable, and broke the second Creed tent by compromising the Brotherhood. Sable deflected the charge and delivered a cryptic warning to the brash Assassin. He then hurled Altaïr through a support beam, cutting him off from the chamber and his companions.

Altaïr believed that the mission had failed, and returned to [[Masyaf]] to report the events to Al Mualim, leaving Malik and Kadar for dead. Malik managed to retrieve and deliver the Piece of Eden to his master, though losing his left arm and his brother in the process.

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]
