All three major monotheistic religions have numerous very important holy sites in the city.

  1. For Judaism: The Western Wall and the Temple Mount Complex, Mount of Olives Cemetary, Ramban Synagogue, and the City of Jerusalem itself
  2. For Christians: The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Via Dolorosa, Golgotha, the Church of All Nations, and Mount Zion, among other smaller churches and places.
  3. For Muslims: Al-Aqsa mosque (That is considered one of the three holiest mosques) and the Dome of the Rock mosque . In Islam, the whole site of Al-Qods (Jerusalem) is one of three holiest sites in Islam.
