RCIN 2700916

The Dome of the Rock is both a shrine and a mosque. It is today the most sacred Islamic site in the city. The Dome of the Chain, a small domed structure adjacent to the shrine, was probably constructed as a treasury. It was believed at one point to cover the spot that marked the centre of the world. Acquired by the Prince of Wales, 1862
