While the Dome of the Rock was turned into a Christian church under the care of the Augustinians, the al-Aqsa Mosque was used as a royal palace and also as a stable for horses.
Mentres que a Cúpula da Rocha foi reconvertida nunha igrexa cristiá, a mesquita de al-Aqsa utilizouse como palacio real e tamén como corte para os cabalos.
