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.
