The Temple Mount in Jerusalem (known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary) is perhaps the most famous and most contested piece of religious real estate in the world. It's where many believe that Cain murdered Abel (ironically enough, it was in a dispute who would own the location, according to one Jewish tradition). Many Jews believe that Abraham nearly sacrificed Isaac here. It's where many believe that King David first erected an altar to God. It's where both Solomon and Herod built massive temples. It's where Muslims believe that Muhammad ascended to heaven and where the Dome of the Rock, one of Islam's holiest sites, currently stands.
