Jerusalem
Jerusalem is the holy city of three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Cardo Street
The Cardo was the main street in Ancient Roman cities, running from north to south and lined with a row of columns on each side.
In the northern section of the Cardo, the bazaar built by the Crusaders in the 12th century was uncovered and restored to its function as a shopping area.
Western Wall
The Western Wall is part of the ancient wall around the western slope of the Temple Mount in the Old City that survived the destruction of the Second Temple. The greatest shrine of Judaism outside the Temple Mount itself, it has for centuries been a symbol of faith and hope for many generations of Jews, a place of pilgrimage and prayer.
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It contains the two holiest sites in Christianity: Golgotha, the site where Jesus was crucified, and Jesus's tomb, where he was buried and resurrected.
Mount Zion
For Jews, Zion became a symbol of Jerusalem and the entire Promised Land, which the Jewish people have been striving for since the dispersion after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.
