Emperor Constantine's mother Helena commissioned the construction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the fourth century, establishing the quarter's central landmark.

The district contains forty religious buildings of various Christian denominations, including Greek Orthodox, Latin, and Lutheran establishments.
