To set foot in Jerusalem is to savor the honey of history. Revered and disputed by the three great monotheistic religions, your visit is a unique experience, which remains engraved forever in the traveler’s heart.
When thinking of Jerusalem, the first thing that comes to mind is a symphony made up of its most spiritual sounds, which give it a magical halo throughout the day. Like the bells of the Christian churches ringing non-stop, the laments of the Jews in front of the Wailing Wall, the call to prayer of the muezzin from the top of the minarets of the mosques or the songs of groups of Christians who perform the via crucis carrying a cross on his back. They are sounds that sometimes overlap, and others follow one another in order so as not to step on each other.
Provincial for many, cosmopolitan for others, Jerusalem leaves no traveler indifferent. It is a sacred city for Jews, Muslims and Christians, who share and dispute history and religious relics. A situation that configures a very complex coexistence space, which is sometimes difficult to understand.
The best way to start the visit is to go up to the Mount of Olives, which houses an old Jewish cemetery with wonderful plasticity. And it offers from its viewpoint one of the most photographed images of the city, where it is easy to identify the most emblematic places; It is striking how the wall surrounds the oldest part of the city, and the gold of the Dome of the Rock, which stands out very strongly against the white stone that characterizes the constructions of Jerusalem.
