The powerful and mysterious Knights Templar built the Temple Church in the late 12th century. After featuring in The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown it became a very popular place for tourists to visit, but don't let this be a reason to snub the place; the place is certainly worth a visit.
It is easy to understand why Dan Brown couldn't resist speculating about the mysteries surrounding the Knights Templar and the the Temple Mount they occupied in Jerusalem after the First Crusade of 1096 which was believed to be the ruins of the Temple of Solomon. If only he had added "April Fool!" at the end of the book instead of insisting it was based in reality. :-)
