Abstract	:	The beauty of Jerusalem has always been in the citys rich religious significance to the monotheistic Abrahamic faiths Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Since the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans under Titus in the first century, the temple mount has undergone many changes. Although the earlier Christian community did not build on the remains of the temple, the Umayyad Caliphs erected a splendid structure reflecting artistic influence from Byzantine and Persian sources together with some of the earliest surviving inscriptions of the Quran. Today, The Dome of the Rock stands proudly on the site and is an iconic structure representing Jerusalem for many worldwide. This shrine, begun in the late 600s, was the first important public building of the Islamic faith. As such, it is a cultural focus point for the entire Islamic world and a monument that preserves the historic, cultural and religious heritage of the site from the time of the First Temple up to the present day.
