Jerusalem's Absolute Essentials

Jerusalem’s historic center is defined by the UNESCO-listed Old City and its 16th-century Ottoman walls. This area encompasses the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock. Within its four quarters, landmarks include the ancient Via Dolorosa and the Tower of David citadel. Archaeological sites like the Western Wall Tunnels and the Jerusalem Archaeological Park uncover remains from the Herodian and Roman eras. Outside the walls, the Yad Vashem complex provides a comprehensive historical record of the Holocaust.
