Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Al-Aqsa Mosque is the main congregational mosque or prayer hall in the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem. The mosque was originally built by the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik or his successor al-Walid I in the 7th century, and has undergone several renovations and expansions over the centuries, including rebuildings after earthquakes in 746 and 1033. The mosque has been used as a palace by the Crusaders, and its function as a mosque was restored after the area was conquered by Saladin in 1187. The mosque has been renovated and expanded by various Islamic dynasties, including the Ayyubids, Mamluks, Ottomans, and others, and is currently under the independent administration of the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf.learn more on wikipedia
