The Old City of Jerusalem is city within the modern city of Jerusalem. It occupied the European imagination for centuries. The quest to liberate and then hold Jerusalem was a major focus of many wars – called the Crusades – spanned an entire era. In the 7th century, Muslim armies captured the city and built the Dome of the Rock and Al-Asqa Mosque on the site of the Second Temple.
The Old City of Jerusalem is at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both sides claim the Old City as their Capital. The Islamic Dome of the Rock, on the Temple Mount, is one of the most beautiful architectural wonders of the world.
