Jerusalem’s Old City is defined by its massive stone fortifications and historic entry points, such as the ornate Damascus Gate and the Ottoman-built Jaffa Gate.

It also extends to significant commemorative sites like Ammunition Hill and the Kastel, which mark crucial military positions from 20th-century conflicts, providing a comprehensive look at the city's strategic and commemorative landscape.
