The Shrine of the Ascension, also known as the Chapel of the Ascension, stands on the summit of the Mount of Olives, in the At-Tur district of Jerusalem. The site has been venerated since the late fourth century as the place where, according to Christian tradition, Jesus ascended into heaven after the Resurrection. Its earliest commemorative structure was a Byzantine complex.

The present octagonal chapel is a product of the Crusader period, built in the twelfth century as a small domed edicule marking the traditional footprint of the Ascension. Following the Ayyubid reconquest, the shrine came under Islamic custodianship, and a mihrab was added inside.
