Old City of Jerusalem
Old City of Jerusalem
Traditionally, the Old City has been divided into four uneven quarters, although the current designations were introduced only in the 19th century. Today, the Old City is roughly divided into the Muslim Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter and the Armenian Quarter. Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the Old City was captured by Jordan and the Jewish residents were evicted. During the Six-Day War in 1967, which saw hand to hand fighting on the Temple Mount, Israel captured the Old City alongside the rest of East Jerusalem, subsequently annexing them to Israeli territory and reuniting them with the western part of the city. Today, Israel controls the entire area, which it considers part of its national capital.
In 2010, Jerusalem’s oldest fragment of writings was found outside of the Old City’s walls.
Hi to every one, the contents existing at this website
are actually remarkable for people experience, well, keep up the good work fellows.
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like
to send you an e-mail. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
I don’t create a lot of responses, however I browsed some remarks on Old City of Jerusalem – Holy Postcard.
I do have some questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Is it only me or do some of these comments look as if they are left by brain dead folks?
😛 And, if you are posting at additional social sites,
I would like to keep up with you. Would you post a list
of the complete urls of all your social sites like your Facebook
page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon everyday.
It’s always useful to read through content from other authors and use a little something from
other sites.
I could not refrain from commenting. Exceptionally well written!
