Tower of David, Jerusalem Flags

Captivating Scenes: A Photo Journey Through Historic Jerusalem

Bymukikapupstravels Posted on Updated on

Jerusalem… it’s called the center of the earth, and it’s filled with layer upon layer (literally) of history. There’s tension, hope and tourism; amazing food, shopping and that atmosphere of great people in history walking in this very place.

After studying the archaeology of this place and many visits, including while I lived in Israel, I’ve acquired a lot of photos, and I want to share some with you!
