Geography of the holy places

Update on the geography of the Jewish and Muslim holy places of the old city of Jerusalem with infographic and archival images of Jews praying in front of the Wailing Wall, muslmans praying in front of the mosque of the Dome of the Rock, the esplanade of mosques, of manifestation of Jews. The Dome of the Rock. The esplanade of the mosques and especially the Dome of the Rock concentrate political and religious passions. The religious ultra-nationalists of the Temple Mount organization, want to assert Israeli sovereignty over this Muslim enclave. They would like to rebuild the temple of Solomon on the site of the Dome of the Rock because that is where it would have been before its destruction.
