JERUSALEM

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and holy to Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

The old city of Jerusalem is divided into four quarters, the Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Armenian Quarters. It became a World Heritage Site in 1981.

In 1967, Jerusalem was united under Israeli rule following the Six Day War, which was imposed on Israel by the Arab world.

Since the unification of Jerusalem in 1967, the city has become an exemplary coexistence

and living and breathing expression of religious and cultural sentiment for members of all religions.

The freedom of worship in all the sacred sites is guaranteed to the believers of the three monotheistic religions, for the first time in the modern era.
