Cities of Israel: Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is the only city in the world with more than seventy names expressing love and yearning for it; a city depicted on ancient maps in the center of the world and preserving its special place in the hearts of people.
Jerusalem Old City
In the heart of Jerusalem is the Old City, surrounded by a wall and divided into four quarters - Jewish, Armenian, Christian and Muslim. The walls are surrounded by the main shrines of the three main religions: the Wailing Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. The square at the Wailing Wall never becomes empty - thousands of believers come here, carrying prayers in their hearts, the square itself is divided into the female half and the male one. Tourists should take care of closed clothes, respecting religious rules. Here, at the foot of the gigantic wall, preserved from the Holy Temple, prayers are pronounced and notes with requests to God are laid in the gaps between the huge stones.
There is a beautiful market - a real feast for the soul, where you can buy ceramic items in Armenian style, beautiful necklaces, original clothes, embroidered pillows, colorful woolen carpets, candles and magnificent glassware, as well as numerous souvenirs for every taste. On the walls of the Old Town is a road promenade, which overlooks the Old and New Town. Tours along these walls are considered a magnificent evening pastime, during which you can admire the shining lights of the city. Armenian quarter has a unique appeal, and it is also worth visiting.
New city of Jerusalem
To the south-west of the Old City is Mount Zion, and on it is the Temple of the Assumption, in which, according to Christian tradition, the mother of Jesus, Mary spent the last night before her death. This temple was built about 100 years ago, and in its basement you can see the statue of Sleeping Mary. Next to the church is the Gornitsa Last Supper, where the last meal of Jesus with the apostles took place.
