Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls, Fortified heritage site in Jerusalem, Israel.
The Old City's walls extend over 4 kilometers, enclosing four distinct quarters representing Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Armenian communities within Jerusalem.
Sultan Suleiman constructed the current defensive walls and gates of Jerusalem between 1535 and 1538, establishing the layout that remains visible today.
The Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Al-Aqsa Mosque represent three major world religions within the confines of these ancient stone barriers.
Access to the Old City occurs through eight main gates, with Jaffa Gate serving as the primary entrance for visitors exploring the narrow streets.
Archaeological excavations beneath the Old City reveal multiple layers of structures dating from different periods across four millennia of continuous settlement.
