About
Jerusalem is one of the oldest and most historically significant cities in the world, revered as a spiritual center by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Located in the Judean Hills between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea, it has been a focal point of faith, culture, and politics for thousands of years. The city is home to sacred landmarks such as the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock, each drawing millions of pilgrims and visitors annually. Beyond its religious importance, Jerusalem is also Israel’s capital and a vibrant modern city, where ancient walls and narrow alleys stand alongside universities, museums, and bustling markets. Its layered history, rich traditions, and complex contemporary significance make Jerusalem a unique crossroads of past and present, sacred and secular.
