There are at least two mosques that I am aware of on prominent conquered holy sites. In Istanbul the Hagia Sophia Eastern Orthodox cathedral was taken over by Muslims in 1453 and converted into a mosque, which it continued to be until Turkey was secularized in 1935.
The Dome of the Rock and other mosque-related buildings were built over the site of the Jewish Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. I would not be surprised to find other examples of this, but have not had time to research the matter further.
Hint on the above:the Hagia Sophia Eastern Orthodox cathedral was converted into a mosque just for having the majority of population in the country at that time as Muslims and the cathedral was no longer of practical use. However, it was changed into a museum in year 1935 and is still a museum.The story is different for the mosques of Dome of the Rock and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa where their sites were flat lands and the two mosques were neither in replacement of a Jewish temple nor any other building.
However, many mosques in Spain and former Soviet Union Islamic Republics where either demolished or changed into churches or changed for other uses.

What is the importance of moques in Islamic society?
Mosques are the Islamic places of worship, akin to Christian churches, Jewish synagogues, etc., though there are a hefty amount of non-religious services and venues carried out at mosques. All prayer is carried out in a mosque, and prayer occurs five times on Fridays, so mosques often need to be placed in centralised, busy areas. In addition, in Islamic communities lacking schools, Mosques act as centres of education, including formal teachers. During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, mosques serve iftar, a sort of breakfast-like meal that can be consumed by any Muslim entering the Mosque after dusk and before dawn as a sort of community service. All Islamic charities and fundraisers take place in mosques, and even municipal announcements are sometimes done at mosques due to the community built around them. In less populated areas, mosques act as a community centre of sorts, and communities can spring up around them. In primarily Islamic nations, mosques are actually used as the official voting stations and registration areas, and mosques typically act as centres for political and social advocacy, with petitions, rallies, and protests being held there. Imams (Islamic priests) sometimes incorporate political speech into their sermons, further pronouncing a mosque's role as not just a religious, but also political and communal site. Mosques can even be found as sites for Islamic pride, as they are often seen as areas exemplary of Islamic architecture due to their (sometimes) elaborate domes, minarets (prayer towers), fountains, and prayer halls. Hope this helps.
