World Heritage Site of the Day
Old Jerusalem and its Walls

Located on the Eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, Israel is a young nation with a long history.  Old Jerusalem is one key to this history.  Holy to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the city of Jerusalem holds many wonders.  Among them are the Dome of the Rock, the Wailing Wall, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.  Nominated as a United Nations World Heritage site in 1982, old Jerusalem holds tight to its traditions.  Links to this World Heritage site are here:
