The Temple Mount; known in Hebrew as Har HaBayit or as Har HaMoriya and in Arabic as the Haram al-Sharif or Noble Sanctuary; is one of the most important religious sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. It has been used as a religious site for thousands of years.

At least four religious traditions are known to have made use of the Temple Mount: Judaism; Christianity; Roman religion; and Islam. The present site is dominated by three monumental structures from the early Umayyad period: the al-Aqsa Mosque; the Dome of the Rock and the Dome of the Chain.

The Western Wall; Wailing Wall or Kotel ( Arabic: Ha'it Al-Buraq; ' The Buraq Wall') is located to the west at left centre. Pictures From History Andrew Shiva
