Jerusalem: Quarters




Jerusalem: Quarters

‎From above we can distinguish between the Quarters of the different communities that share this historic city. Towering above the red roofs of the Christian Quarter is the spire of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, next to the gray dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Between the Temple Mount and the Christian Quarter is the Moslem Quarter. Nearby, the renewed Jewish Quarter faces the Western Wall plaza and on its left, the Armenian Quarter. This is the fascinating mosaic of the Old City, separated by the dark lines of streets from the modern Jerusalem, which started to develop outside the walls in 1860.
