About
Dome of the Chain is an Islamic free-standing domed building located adjacently east of the Dome of the Rock in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is one of many small buildings that can be found scattered around the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Its exact historical use and significance are under scholarly debate. Erected in 691–92 CE, the Dome of the Chain is one of the oldest surviving structures at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
