This is the Old City of Jerusalem. It is one of the holyest spots in the world for three of the worlds great religions. All of these holy spots are about 5 or 10 minutes walk from each other and they are all within the walled city of old Jerusalem.
The city is very ancient. As each city broke down they filled it in and built on top of it. These are some columns that have been uncovered beneath the ground.



















This is the Wailing Wall. Do you want to hear a story well here it is. This used to be a synagoge, the place where Jewish people pray. It was destroyed in all these wars and battles and all that is left is this wall. So now jewish people pray at the wall. When Jewish people pray here they sometimes put their head on the wall, they also write their prayers on paper and roll it up and stick it into the cracks in the wall and they believe that God will answer them. Women pray on the right side of the wall and men pray on the left. Men wear round cap on their head when they pray, and some women wear scarves on their head.

This is the Dome of the Rock. It is a very holy place for Muslims. Muslims come here to pray.
