A very interesting and lively place to get lost in. The old city is divided into different religious quarters so it's fascinating to see how the quarters differ and how everyone mingles.

In the north of the Old City of Jerusalem, it is said that Judas betrayed Jesus here. There is a tree that is more than 2,000 years old, which is very historical. There is also a stone word "peace" spelled on the ground in the courtyard. It is now also a church.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is the most famous mosque in the city. The entire building area is quite large. The mosque is located in the complex of buildings on the Temple Mount. The structure of the golden dome is very unique. It is also a place where you can appreciate the religious characteristics of the city of Jerusalem.

The entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem, known as the Damascus Gate, dates back to the Roman era in the second century. At that time, the gate was three times as long as it is now, like a triumphal arch, and was not connected to the city walls. Later, when it was rebuilt with city walls, it became a guardhouse. Impressively, the remains of the Roman gate still exist, including the archway engraved with the laws made by the colonial rulers. Damascus Gate, also known as Shechem Gate or Nablus Gate, is a gate on the north side of the Old City of Jerusalem. The gate was built by Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire in 1542 and has two towers. The original gate was built during the Second Temple period, and the Romans built a new gate during the Hadrian period in the 2nd century AD. In front of the gate stands a Roman victory column, which is why the Arabic name of Damascus Gate, "the Gate of the Pillars", is so named. During the British Mandate period, the Roman gate was excavated, but the victory column was not found. During the Crusades, this was the north gate of the city.
