The Temple Mount holds a centuries-old history and is sacred to Judaism, as well as being the third holiest site in Islam.

During King David's reign, he had a vision of an angel with a sword on this mountain, directing him to build an altar to the Lord.
The Mount of Olives is a treasury of spiritual values. At its highest point stands the Chapel of the Ascension, also known as the "Footprint." According to Christian tradition, it is the place where Jesus ascended to heaven. The walls of the chapel are devoid of decorations, icons, and lamps. The main holy relic is the "Stone of the Lord's Footprint" located on the floor.

Via Dolorosa, the Way of Sorrows, is a famous street in the Old City, starting at the Saint Stephen's Gate and ending at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is the path Jesus Christ took on his final journey. Pilgrims visit nine out of the fourteen stations along the way.
