The Dome of the Rock (Arabic: الحرم الشريف, al-Haram ash-Sharīf and also known as القدسQuds ) is an Islamic shrine (or mosque) and a major landmark located in the city of Jerusalem. It was built between 689 and 691 AD. It is one of the most recognized and important Islamic shrines in the city, as well as the most coveted among three religions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity).
Trivia
- Even though the dome is golden as it appears in Assassin's Creed, it was in reality gilded for the first time in 1963. During the Third Crusade it was actually made of black lead.
- A View Point is positioned on top of the roof, as the top of the dome itself is inaccessible.
- Solomon's Temple is under the Dome of the Rock. The entrance is somewhere in the building near the Dome of the Rock.
