JERUSALEM

It is in the state of Israel, is the ancient Jewish capital, a city considered sacred by the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions. The ancient city is the destination of numerous pilgrimages and visits every year, even by non-believers. In fact, it is very rich in historical and architectural places very important for the history of all humanity, and full of suggestive itineraries.

Walking through the old city of Jerusalem, getting lost in its alleys, means exploring different worlds in a few meters. This area, in fact, is divided between the Jewish, Muslim, Armenian and Christian neighborhoods. But the divisions are not visible, the small streets intertwine, so it is easy to find yourself, after a few steps, from the colorful chaos of the Muslim quarter to the tranquility and order of the Jewish quarter.

The best choice is definitely a tour with a local guide, for a first approach to the city and to identify the landmarks. If you have the time, it is simply to get lost in the Old City of Jerusalem and enjoy the culture that transpires from every stone building and alley. Stop to taste street food and visit bazaars of all kinds.he center is divided into 4 districts that create a whole, it is in fact very difficult to understand where one ends and where the other begins.

The largest and most populated is the Muslim one characterized by crowded streets and lively bazaars. Here the strong link with Islam is clearly perceptible. The Via Dolorosa starts from the Arab quarter, the path that Jesus took to reach Golgotha, the place of the crucifixion.The Jewish quarter is recognized for its more orderly streets and shops with typical Jewish clothing and sacred objects.

It is separated from the Muslim area by a narrow street.
Finally, the Armenian quarter is the smallest. Very quiet, about 2,000 people live there.

The neighborhood is more like a fortress in the city, where the only accessible doors are those of the pottery workshops.It is the symbol, as well as a place of pilgrimage, for the faithful of the Jewish religion from all over the world. The Western Wall is the remains of the ancient temple destroyed by the Romans. It is a truly suggestive experience, which we recommend to face with the right spirit and respect.

The faithful, in fact, go to the Wall to pray and cry for the diaspora of the Jewish people and the destruction of the sacred temple, usually the atmosphere is full of mysticism. Each of them writes prayers on sheets of paper and sticks them into the cracks in the wall. If you are lucky, you can also attend some Jewish celebration, such as the Sokkut, to celebrate the liberation of the Jews from slavery in Egypt.
