The Most Astonishingly Old Cities On Planet Earth

Jerusalem is often credited with being the epicenter of the world’s most prominent religions, as well as a spiritual destination. The holy center for Catholics, Jews and Muslims was first inhabited in 2,800 BC. Today, it still holds relics of several prominent religious sites (that are much sought after by worshippers and tourists alike) including the iconic Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock and the Holy Sepulchre. The city has seen a series of tumultuous times when it was captured around two dozen times and destroyed at least on two occasions.
