Chapel of the Ascension

While all visitors are welcome, there is a small entry fee for non-Muslims to enter the shrine. Make sure to have cash in hand.
The chapel has had a tumultuous history: the original Byzantine-era Christian church was destroyed by Persian invaders, rebuilt by Crusaders, then converted to a mosque in the 12th century. The building is still officially considered a mosque, although it does double duty as a chapel.
Why is there only one footprint? Only the imprint believed to belong to Jesus’s right foot remains. The left footprint was removed and taken during the Middle Ages to Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, as Muslims also believe in Jesus’s miraculous ascension.
