The Old City of Jerusalem is a historic area of ​​0.9 square km in Jerusalem. Inside there are historical places for Muslims (the Al Aqsa Mosque Complex, for Jews is the Temple Mount of King Solomon), Christianity (Church of Thr Holy Sepulchure / Church of the holy graves), and Jewish claims (Temple Mount of King Solomon & Western Wall / wailing wall)

Around the Old City a defensive wall was built by Sultan Sulaiman Al Qanuni (Sulaiman The Magnificent) of the Ottoman Caliphate.

Since the time of Umar bin Khattab, Jews were prohibited from occupying this part, based on the agreement between Saydina Umar and Bishop Sophronius. But the ambition and continued realization of the Jews, undermines our defenses.

Since the 19th century, the Old Town has been divided into 4 quarters. For Muslims (in the Northeast), for Christians (in the Southeast), Jews (in the Southwest), and Armenians (in the Northwest). UNESCO then included it in the list of World Heritage Sites in 1981.

Israeli flags are stuck on the streets of the Old City to show who really owns the place.
