Sacred Sites & Places of Worship

This collection spans Israel’s most revered religious landmarks, from Jerusalem’s Old City to the shores of the Sea of Galilee. It features the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall, alongside the 7th-century Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Highlights include the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, Jaffa’s historic Sea Mosque, and monumental synagogues in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. These sites represent centuries of architectural evolution and spiritual history for Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions, including the Via Dolorosa and the Mount of Beatitudes.
