"Jerusalem",in ancient language,translates to the "city of peace"-slightly ironic if you think about all the disputes and unrest that it has gone through for thousands of years and continue to do so today.These aside, Jerusalem is an amazing tourists destination filled attractions from a variety of cultures and religions (its' a holy city for three different religions-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam).At the heart of Jerusalem is the old city, a 09-square kilometer walled area divided into four quarters to house the Jewish, Armenian,Christian,and Muslim holy sites.The Christian quarter alone houses about 40 holy places,one of which is the church of the Sepulcher,a site venerated by many Christians nad the site of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
