Minarets of the Temple Mount, Islamic towers at Temple Mount, Jerusalem.
Four stone minarets stand at different corners of the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, with three positioned on the western side and one on the northern flank.
The Ghawanima Minaret, constructed in 1298 during Sultan Lajin's reign, rises 38.5 meters at the northwestern corner of the Noble Sanctuary compound.
The minarets function as elevated platforms for muezzins to perform the call to prayer five times daily, maintaining Islamic religious traditions.
Visitors can observe the minarets from multiple vantage points in the Old City, with the Bab al-Silsila Minaret containing an internal staircase of 80 steps.
The Bab al-Asbat Minaret features a cylindrical stone shaft that narrows above the muezzin's balcony, ending in a distinctive bulbous dome.
