Jerusalem

 
Back of card: Jerusalem, the Old City
Jerusalem, located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
 
In this card you can see the Western Wall,which is the last remaining artifact of the temple that was destroyed in 70 BC by the Romans. You can also see the Muslim mosque.
Thank you Hanna for the explanations and the card!
