it was one of the first mosques to be built and the farthest one too... it was the first Qibla (direction to which muslims pray) but now its the "Kaba".... Islam came to jurusalem when the romans and greeks used to live there, the greeks used to call it "the holy land"

Well, the foundations for it were laid in 705 CE, so it is pretty old, but it didn't look like it does now. It is beautiful by the way! (I haven't been inside though since I think you need to be Muslim to enter, and I am not) You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Aqsa_Mosque (not a referral link!!)
