The Temple of Jerusalem, located on Mount Moriah, was the main place of worship of the people of Israel. The first, built by Solomon, Suleiman or Sulayman, the Koran, is referred to in   Book I of Kings. It was looted several times and was finally destroyed by Nabucodonosor II, in 537 BC. The ruins of the second, burned in 70 AD by Emperor Titus, are now the “Wailing Wall”.
