Maps Of Jerusalem Gate

                If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
                may my right hand forget its cunning.
                May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth,
                if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy.
                                              (Psalms 137:5-6)


Jerusalem has long been represented in maps as the "Center of the
World". Maps of Jerusalem have been made through the ages by various
people with different attitudes. We find maps drawn by people who had
never seen Jerusalem and tried to put their imagination and spiritual
thoughts into their sketch, as well as maps made by travellers visiting
Jerusalem. In our tour we will take a look at maps dating from the
beginning of the fourth century to modern times.
