Mount Scopus

Mount Scopus is a hill in Jerusalem that overlooks the city, offering scenic views and housing the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s campuses. It has historical significance due to its strategic location and has been a site of conflict and division, especially during the 20th century. Today, Mount Scopus is part of the Israeli territory and serves as an academic and cultural center while also being a symbol of Jerusalem’s complex history and diverse communities. Its elevated position provides a unique perspective on the city’s ancient sites and modern development.
