Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islamic mosque in Jerusalem, Palestine
The silver-domed Al-Aqsa Mosque spans 144,000 square meters and contains 200 monuments, including the Dome of the Rock and four minarets in Mamluk style.
The mosque, first mentioned in Islamic records as constructed 40 years after the Kaaba, underwent multiple reconstructions following earthquakes during the Umayyad and Abbasid periods.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque functions as the third most sacred site in Islam after Mecca and Medina, receiving pilgrims from across the Muslim world for prayers.
Four main gates provide access to different sections of the mosque complex, and visitors need to obtain permits while adhering to specific dress codes.
The mosque stands above the Temple Mount plateau, integrating architectural elements from various Islamic periods and featuring geometric patterns in its decorative schemes.
