There was a time when all there was to Jerusalem was .35 sq mi, an area bordered by thick walls in order to protect its citizens. It was dangerous for the people to leave the city walls. This small radius is now known as the Old City. It is The Heart of Jerusalem. IT houses key religioous structures: the Church of the Holy Seprulchre for Christians, The Dome of the Rock and Al- Aqsa Mosque for Muslims and the Western Wall for Jews.
This small area is full of life and spirituality. Each quarter of the Old City is thriving with each individual culture and religion. The influences of Christianity, Islam and Judaism blend together in many instances as well as maintain their individuality. When walking these old streets it is as if one may have stepped back in time.
