The Old City of Jerusalem might be less than 1 square kilometer but there are four quarters in this Old Town, each with its own character.
The Christian Quarter – this is probably the most visited area of the Old City. You’ll find here plenty of souvenir stands and shops, churches and other holy sites and of course the most significant site for Christians – The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The Armenian Quarter – this is the smallest quarter that is home for more than 2,000 Armenians, a community who has been living here over 2,000 years. In the Armenian Quarter you can visit the Armenian Museum, the beautiful St. James Cathedral and the Tower of David.
What a beautiful post! Loved reading through and appreciating each and every picture you have there. Jerusalem is such a historically and culturally rich place. It would be amazing to go see it in person one day.
Thanks so much Soumya! we are thrilled you loved it. Jerusalem is so special, we really hope you’d get to visit it one day!
Wow I can imagine going in Easter must have been quite the experience! Thank you for sharing your trip with us.
Our pleasure Efia!
Your street photography is so impressive. It’s as if you brought me with you down the streets of Jerusalem. I had no idea you could email a note for the western wall. I am not sure how I feel about it either.
Thanks Rhonda! So great to hear you loved it! Yes, how weird is that – emailing a note to the Western Wall?
Your pictures reflect the real authenticity of Jerusalem, what a beautiful journey through your lenses. Amazing work!
Thanks so much, Paula! Jerusalem is so special and we’re so thrilled we were able to capture it! Photography is our passion so these kinds of comments are really special to us!
“Has He, victoriously,
Burst from the vaulted
Grave, and ail-gloriously
Now sits exalted ?
Is He, in glow of birth,
Rapture creative near ?
Ah ! to the woe of earth
Still are we native here.
We, His aspiring
Followers, Him we miss ;
Weeping, desiring.
Master, Thy bliss…”
This whole place is so special. I was there 3 years ago and am still impressed and grateful for the trip
Thanks Sebastian Jerusalem is such a unique place for sure, you can feel the ancient history of the place while walking in the old city!
