Beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque, there are several structures and areas of historical significance. The Temple Mount, where the Al-Aqsa Mosque is located, is the site of two magnificent structures: the Dome of the Rock to the north and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to the south. In the southeast corner of the compound, a wide plaza leads to underground vaulted archways that have been known for centuries as Solomon’s Stables. This area has been converted into a prayer hall known as the El-Marwani Mosque. The basement of the Al-Aqsa Mosque also houses a library containing around 130,000 books and some 4,000 manuscripts
. Additionally, there are ongoing excavations under the Al-Aqsa compound, which have been a topic of controversy
