Jerusalem (Jordan's proposed location)

🎧 Listen to Introduction

As a holy city for Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Jerusalem has always had great symbolic significance. Among its 220 historical monuments, the Dome of the Rock stands out: built in the 7th century, it is decorated with beautiful geometric and floral patterns. All three religions recognize it as the holy place where Abraham made sacrifices. The Wailing Wall divides the living quarters of different religious groups, while the Resurrection Rotunda of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre houses the tomb of Christ.
