Sultan Suleiman I, the Magnificent, al-Qanuni ("The Lawgiver"), was the greatest sultan of the Ottoman Empire's many centuries, the man who extended Ottoman dominion to the very gates of Western Europe, and established the laws and cultural norms that would hold sway in the Empire until its dissolution - and influence the modern Turkish state that emerged from the empire's ruins.
Though Suleiman was a man of many turbans - conqueror, legislator, patron, poet - it was as a builder that he is remembered in Jerusalem. The city had come under Ottoman control in 1517, when municipal authorities, nominally subject to the Egyptian Mamluks, peacefully handed administrative power over Jerusalem to Sultan Selim I, Suleiman's father. Upon assuming the throne and expanding Ottoman control even deeper into the Middle East, Suleiman embarked on an ambitious series of public works projects in the major cities of the Islamic world. Suleiman's efforts in Jerusalem included an extensive renovation of the Dome of the Rock and an upgrade to the civic infrastructure that remains the symbol of Jerusalem to this day: the walls of the Old City.
