écuries de Salomon

The Marwani Mosque (al-Muṣallā al-Marwānī) is an underground prayer hall beneath the south-eastern courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem. Its southern and eastern walls coincide with those of Al-Aqsa and with the walls of the Old City. The prayer hall was built into a large, irregular vaulted hall under the Temple Mount, known as Solomon's Stables. That hall is more than 80 metres long, narrows in depth from 58 to 17 metres toward the west, and is between 9 and 10 metres high. Access is near the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The name refers to Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, and our record lists the Umayyads as its founders. Its capacity is given as 6,000 worshippers.
