The Temple Mount, known in Hebrew as Har HaBayit or as Har HaMoriya and in Arabic as the Haram al-Sharif or Noble Sanctuary, is one of the most important religious sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. It has been used as a religious site for thousands of years. At least four religious traditions are known to have made use of the Temple Mount: Judaism, Christianity, Roman religion, and Islam. The present site is dominated by three monumental structures from the early Umayyad period: the al-Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock and the Dome of the Chain. The Western Wall, Wailing Wall or Kotel ( Arabic: Ha'it Al-Buraq, ' The Buraq Wall') is located to the west at left centre.
