"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Confucius _ Looking up at the Dome of the Rock, situated on the Temple Mount - a hill located in the Old City of Jerusalem which is one of the most important religious sites in the world, sacred for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. _ This mosque, the 3rd most holiest site in Islam, was initially completed in 691 CE. The original dome collapsed in 1015 and was rebuilt in 1022–23. The Dome of the Rock is in its core one of the oldest extant works of Islamic architecture. _ Did you know: the iconic gold-cladding was only added in 1959–61 (and reapplied again in 1993)? _ #jerusalem
