The Dome of the Rock was erected in the late 7th century under the 5th

Jewish Second Temple (or possibly added to an existing Byzantine building dating to the reign of Heraclius, 610–641).[5]
After the
St. Mary.[8]

The adjacent

Al-Aqsa Mosque was called Templum Solomonis ("Temple of Solomon") by the Crusaders. It first became a royal palace. The image of the Dome, as representing the "Temple of Solomon", became an important iconographic element in the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The royal seals of the Kings of Jerusalem depicted the city symbolically by combining the Tower of David, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock and the city walls.[citation needed

After the completion of the purpose-built royal palace near the

Grand Masters of the Knights Templar (such as Everard des Barres and Renaud de Vichiers), and it is possibly the architectural model for round Templar churches across Europe.[10]

Although the adjacent

baptistry during the Crusader period, it has since remained in the hands of Islamic authorities as part of the larger complex of the Dome of the Rock. It turned back into a mosque after the crusaders. [11][12]
