See moreJerusalem is an ancient cradle of human culture and one of the most important loci of three world religions. But as long as it has existed, it has been the cause and breeding ground of conflicts, as well as the target and site of dispute and war.

Together these towers flank a courtyard with simple reflective stream of water as the central focal point.
