The Umayyad al-Aqsa mosque completed under al-Walid I

The Umayyad mosque of Jerusalem was a hypostyle building: many aisles perpendicular to the qibla with a wider central nave on the axis of the Dome of the Rock, reusing earlier materials, and it was either built from scratch or completed under the caliph al-Walid I; Abd al-Malik had built on the earlier foundation, as al-Muqaddasi reports. It served as the city's congregational mosque and as the roofed part of the whole Haram.
