The Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock Shrine.
The Dome and Al-Aqsa Mosque are both located on the Temple Mount, the site of Solomon's Temple and its successors. The Dome of the Rock was built between AD 685 and 691 by the caliph 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, not as a mosque for public worship but rather as a Mashhad, a shrine for pilgrims.

The Dome of the Rock is an octagonal structure with a golden copula covered in gold. There is an area for prayer surrounding the Foundation Stone, upon which Muslims believe that Mohammed ascended to heaven. The Al-Aqsa Mosque is directly south of the Dome of the Rock Shrine and is the principle mosque in Jerusalem.Both sights are overseen by the Islamic Waqf, even though the Old City of Jerusalem is under Israeli control.
