Overview
The Dome of the Spirits is a small dome resting on an octagonal base, located on the Temple Mount, in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Several theories exist concerning the name of this building; it could be associated with the proximity of the cave of the spirits or according to a legend, the souls of the dead will be gathered there for prayers.
Its other name, Dome of the Tablets, comes from the Tablets of Stone, which were said to be kept in the Ark of the Covenant.
It was built in the tenth century.
