That whole Temple Mount was raised & expanded on by King Herod. And then raised again & expanded by the Romans. The Dome of the Rock was a Christian Church erected by the Romans until the Muslims claimed the Temple Mount, destroyed the Church and built the Dome of The Rock Mosque.
Matthew 24 As Jesus left the Temple and was walking away, his followers came up to show him the Temple's buildings. 2 Jesus asked, "Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground."
