HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS OF JERUSALEM

Jerusalem is unlike any city that I have visited before. The combination of ancient ruins, religious churches and sites, and modern neighborhoods, make Jerusalem an eclectic and spiritual city.

Wishing I had more time to discover the historical streets, religious sites, and the vibrant downtown district, I wanted to briefly share the highlights of this fascinating Israeli city!

The Old City holds some of the world’s most significant religious sites within its centuries’ old stone walls.

Significant religious sites in Mount Zion are the Room of the Last Supper and the Tomb of David.

At the time of the meal, archeologists believe the room was within the city walls.

ROOM OF THE LAST SUPPER

The Tomb of David sits within a tiny room divided by a small wall to separate men and women into two tiny prayer areas facing the tomb.
