This article deals with the architectural development of Jerusalem during
the Islamic period, from the time of the second orthodox Caliph Omar Ibn al-
Khattab who entered the city in 638 until the end of the Ottoman period 1917.
According to Madaba map, it appears that there was a change on the plan of
the city; it comprises the addition of the eastern part which includes the Aqsa
Mosque area and its southern and eastern parts. The architectural remains
indicate that there was an architectural development, started from the first
moment after Muslim taking over the city. This proved by the construction
of the Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock and other monumental buildings,
which still stand and located in various areas within the city walls. These
buildings represent all the architectural sectors: cultural, commercial and
social, which touched the city by the Islamic characters, which still to be seen
until our days.
