Old Aqsa Mosque / Masjid Qibli, the first Qibla for Muslims

Masjid Al Aqsa actually refers to the entire compound not a single building. The site actually consists of several mosques, such as the Buraq Mosque and the Marwani Mosque. To avoid confusion, the wider compound in which Al-Aqsa is located is usually referred to as Al-Haram Ash-Sharif (The Noble Sanctuary).

Dome of Rock, the site of Muhammad pbuh ascension to heaven

The legendary golden dome is probably the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Al-Aqsa. The mosque's Dome of the Rock is said to be the first dome to ever be used in Islamic architecture, before becoming a staple of Islamic mosques.

Initially made of wood, the dome was later decorated with marble pieces and a distinctive gold layer by Ottoman Caliph Suleiman the Magnificent.
