Austria hospice - View of Jerusalem with the Dome of the Rock from the Austria hospice, Jerusalem, Israel

View - After conquering Jerusalem in the 7th century, the 9th Islamic Caliph, Abd al-Malik, built the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount, the high flat area where the first and second Temples of Jerusalem once stood. Dome of the Rock isn't a mosque but literally a dome covering a rock - Jerusalem, Israel.

Muslim pilgrimage - The Dome of the Rock, (Arabic: مسجد قبة الصخرة) constructed around 691 CE by Umayyad Dynasty, this has become the third holiest site for Muslim pilgrimage, after Mecca and Medina. It is probably the oldest surviving example of early Islamic architecture. The Dome of the Rock is a Muslim shrine which stands on raised bedrock which is traditionally believed to be the place where the first Jewish temple was built. It was also here that people believe Abraham tried to sacrifice his son to God and where Muhammad is believed to have ascended into heaven in order to receive God's commandments.

Dome - The beautiful shrine of the Dome of the Rock, built on a platform over the rock of Mt. Moriah 1,300 years ago by the Muslim Umayyad Caliph Abdul Malek Ibn Marwa. The Dome of the Rock was completed in 691 AD, 6 years after building commenced. The Dome of the Rock is a shrine in Al Aqsa Mosque commemorating the Prophet Muhammad's miraculous journey to the Seven Heavens. Eight stairways with arcades lead to the raised platform of the Dome of the Rock.
