The Dome of the Chain is a small dome next to the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It was built around the same time as its famous neighbor, but its purpose is not entirely clear. The dome owes its name to the legend that Solomon hung a chain from the roof and those who swore falsely while holding the chain would be struck by lightning.
