View fullsize After the fall of Jerusalem in 1187 the ruined church and monastery were abandoned by the Christians, who resettled in Acre. During this time Salah ad-Din established the Mount of Olives as a waqf entrusted to two sheikhs, al-Salih Wali al-Din and Abu Hasan al-Hakari. This donation was registered in a document dated 20 October 1188. The chapel was converted to a mosque, and a mihrab installed in it. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapel_of_the_Ascension,_Jerusalem View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Comment
