Editing Temple Mount (section)

=== Mamluk period ===
There are several Mamluk buildings on and around the Haram esplanade, such as the late 15th-century [[al-Ashrafiyya Madrasa]] and [[Fountain of Qayt Bay|Sabil (fountain) of Qaytbay]]. The Mamluks also raised the level of Jerusalem's Central or Tyropoean Valley bordering the Temple Mount from the west by constructing huge substructures, on which they then built on a large scale. The Mamluk-period substructures and over-ground buildings are thus covering much of the Herodian western wall of the Temple Mount.
