The Dome of the Rock is built on the site of Roman Stables.
It was the only place not knocked down by the Romans in the Jewish Revolt, because it was a Roman, not a Jewish building. When the Arabs took over, they built on it, not knowing that the foundation was Horse manure.

I hadn't heard that about the Roman stables--but the city was Roman for a long time (Aelia Capitolina, after the emperor Hadrian's family name of Aelius). It would make sense that Mohammed's horse would take his launching spot from a horse stable, for the night trip to heaven.
Was the Western Wall built at the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, or by King Herod?

Its fitting as the whole foundation of Islam is Horse pucky.
