Jerusalem – its name resonates in the hearts of Christians, Jews and Muslims alike and echoes through centuries of shared and disputed history. Known in Hebrew as Yerushalayim and in Arabic as al-Quds, it is one of the oldest cities in the world. It has been conquered, destroyed and rebuilt time and again, and every layer of its earth reveals a different piece of the past.
The city of Jerusalem is sacred to a number of religious traditions, including the Abrahamic religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which considers it as a holy city. While it has often been the focus of stories of division and conflict among people of different religions, they are united in their reverence for this holy ground. At its core is the Old City, a maze of narrow alleyways and historic architecture that characterizes its four quarters – Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Armenian. It is surrounded by a fortress-like stone wall and home to some of the holiest sites in the world. Some of the most sacred places for each of these religions are found in Jerusalem and the one shared between all three is the Temple Mount.
Over the centuries Jerusalem has also taken on a redemptive significance, based on its root meaning – ir shalom – city of peace – with the hope that it becomes a place of harmony for all peoples and the capital of a world at one with itself.Jerusalem offers something for every age group, religion, subject of interest and style of travelling.
