Considered the most notable minaret on the Temple Mount, the Minaret of Israel was built in 1367. It is composed of a cylindrical stone shaft (built later by the Ottomans), which springs up from a rectangular Mamluk-built base on top of a triangular transition zone.[2] The shaft narrows above the muezzin's balcony, and is dotted with circular windows,[3] ending with a bulbous dome. The dome was reconstructed after the 1927 Jericho earthquake.[2]
