About the Dome of the Rock
The Dome of the Rock is an eight-sided Islamic shrine on the Temple Mount, within the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City. No surviving work of Islamic architecture is older, and its inscriptions are the earliest to proclaim Islam and the prophet Muhammad. The golden dome rises over the skyline of Jerusalem and can be seen when approaching the city from any direction.
Its initial construction, ordered by Abd al-Malik and carried out by the Umayyad Caliphate during the Second Fitna, dates to 691–692 CE. It was built over the Foundation Stone, also called the Noble Rock. Muslims regard the site as significant because they believe the Night Journey of Muhammad started from the rock at its center. Christians and Jews associate it with Abraham's attempted sacrifice of his son. It is also believed to stand where the Second Jewish Temple once stood before the Romans destroyed it in 70 CE.
The plan is essentially octagonal, with a dome about 20 m (66 ft) across mounted on a circular drum that rests on 16 supports. There are four entrances, one for each cardinal direction. Nearby Byzantine churches and palaces served as models for the plan and the first mosaics. The original dome fell in 1015 and a replacement went up in 1022–23. The gold-plated roof dates from work done in 1959–64 and repeated in the 1990s. UNESCO has designated the site a World Heritage Site.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

- Ribbed dome and drum
- The large dome carries fine ribs and sits on a drum with many small arched windows. A larger print, or Full detail, keeps them; layers of 0.12–0.16 mm help the curved surface.
- Tiny finial and shallow arches
- The dome ends in a very small finial, and the octagonal walls carry rows of shallow arches. Print friendly adapts these small details to your print scale.
- One piece with the ground
- The Dome of the Rock is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Dome of the Rock takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

Is there a Dome of the Rock STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Dome of the Rock grows with the print: about 10 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
