Background: The Christian Quarter is one of four quarters of the walled Old City of Jerusalem, stretching from Damascus Gate to the north up to the New Gate and then extending along the west wall up to Jaffa Gate. Accessed mainly through these aformentioned gates, it is bordered to the east by the Muslim Quarter and to the south by... More

No visit to the Old City of Jerusalem is complete unless you visit all four quarters...and this is no exception.
