The Old City of Jerusalem

The Old City of Jerusalem is a historic, walled area approximately one square kilometer in size, with deep religious and cultural significance for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It contains important sites like the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Its narrow streets and ancient architecture reflect millennia of history amid ongoing religious and political significance. The city is divided into four quarters—Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Armenian—each with unique landmarks and communities. As a focal point of faith and history, the Old City remains a symbol of both spirituality and enduring conflict.
