Religiöse Stätten in Jerusalem

Jerusalem's Sacred Sites

Jerusalem’s religious landscape spans over two millennia of history across the Old City and its surrounding hills. This collection features the Western Wall, a primary site of Jewish prayer, alongside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Via Dolorosa. The Temple Mount plateau holds the iconic 7th-century Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Beyond the walls, the list includes the Mount of Olives' historic churches, the Armenian Quarter's 12th-century Saint James Cathedral, and the monumental Great Synagogue, reflecting the city’s deep spiritual significance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
