Dome of the Rock in the Mosque of Omar, Jerusalem. Chromolithograph by Hubert Clergert and Jules Gaildrau. 1862. The Dome of the Rock is a shrine located on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. The site's significance stems from religious traditions regarding the rock, known as the Foundation Stone, which bears great significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. It was constructed on the site of the Second Jewish Temple, which was destroyed during the Roman Siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Some Muslims believe the location of the Dome of the Rock to be the site of the Islamic miracle of the Isra and Miraj. The location is holy to Christians primarily because of the role the Temple played in the life of Jesus.
