}}The '''Temple Mount''', biblical Mount Moriah, is a hill in the Old City of [[Jerusalem]]. It is the former site of a Jewish temple built by King Solomon in the mid-tenth century BC. The temple was rebuilt by King Herod of Judea in the first century BC. Jesus was presented at the Herodian temple as a baby. He returned as an adult to overturn the tables of the money changers. The Roman commander Titus destroyed the temple in 70 AD during a Jewish revolt against Roman rule. Roman Emperor Hadrian built a Temple to Jupiter around 135. This temple was destroyed Emperor Constantine, who later converted to Christianity.

The [[Dome of the Rock]], an Islamic shrine, was built by the Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik in 691. The Al-Aqsa Mosque was built about 710. As the site of Muhammad's ascension to heaven, Al-Aqsa is considered to be the third holiest site in Islam. Although the Temple Mount was captured by the Israelis in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, it is still managed by an Islamic religious authority called the Waqf.
