As one of the most recognized and important Islamic shrines in the city, the site of the Temple Mount is coveted by the three religions of Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
==Trivia==
*Though the dome appears golden in Assassin's Creed, it was not gilded until 1963. It was covered with black lead during the Third Crusade, had a cross on the top, and was converted into a Christian church until Jerusalem was recaptured by Salāḥ ad-Dīn.
*A viewpoint was positioned on top of the roof, as the top of the dome itself was inaccessible.
*Solomon's Temple could be located beneath the Dome of the Rock, since the temple's entrance was somewhere around a building near to the dome.
*The simulated map of Jerusalem in the second stage of the Animi Training Program featured the dome and its surrounding area.
