Jerusalem is a unique city spanning over 3000 years of history, clashing cultures and constant reinvention. Jerusalem is the heart of Israel and the country’s largest city. Situated in the Judean hills on the edge of the desert, this golden city stands as the most worshipped, fought-over, and loved city in the world.
Jerusalem’s architecture is as vast and diverse as its history, and the city is filled with an amazing array of buildings that will thrill and inspire architecture lovers. The ancient old city comprises centuries-old churches, and the famed Jerusalem stone made up of limestone, dolomite, and other related rocks found in the region. The stone was used in many important buildings and sites including Western Wall, Dome of Rock (Temple Mount), Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Hurva Synagogue, etc. and became a symbolic character for each building. Today the city is thriving with new businesses developing, new restaurants opening up, pedestrian streets, squares, cafes, luxury apartments, and houses being built. Jerusalem architecture is developing and characterized by its history, modern culture, heritage and aspires to grow and flourish.
