Jerusalem

 

The photo is a view of the old city from the south.

 

    Jerusalem, the capital of Israel and the holiest city in the World, is located in the center of Israel, on top of the Judean mountains (700-800M, 2300-2600ft above sea level). This strategic location, first selected by King David 3000 years ago, made the city the heart of the biblical Israel and the Jewish faith, a holy city for the Christian and Muslim faiths, and the capital of modern Israel.
