Jerusalem is an extremely holy city to the three main monotheistic religions- Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

For Christians, its significance comes from the fact that Jesus preached here and was eventually tried and crucified.

For Jews, the city is part of the land promised to Abraham and where King David had his kingdom and also where Solomon had built his temple. It is also the site of the Foundation Stone, which is actually located at the bottom of the Islamic Dome of the Rock.

For Muslims, the city is important because it is the place where Muhammad is believed to have ascended to Heaven. Today, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is one of the holiest shrines of the religion. For sunnis, Jerusalum is the third holiest place, after Mecca and Medina.
