As if by hand, the brilliant masters are condensed together fragments of a wonderful picture that adds right on your eyes. Here and boys with paisas, proud men in black clothes, in the synagogue, shouting Arabs, calling you to buy some trifle, silent soldiers with mating machines, numerous tourists and pilgrims from all corners of the earth, melodic chistle church bells, The loud voice of Muzzin, collecting Orthodoxes on weekly prayer. All this is contradictory and at the same time harmoniously. And you can only contemplate and enjoy, frozen in a wordless admiration from the seen ingenious masterpiece, whose name is Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is located on the watershed between the Mediterranean and the Dead Seas, at a height of about 650-840 meters. Modern Jerusalem is divided into two parts: new and old town.
