Within the walls of the old town you can breathe the scent of dust and old you can get lost among the narrow alleys and crowded people on banquets. Aromas of spice color the air, fabrics and textiles hung catching looks. Confused tourists, devotees careless, children play, military service, tourist guides in search of groups, colorful shop windows facing each street, shawarma simmer on the spit, blood orange boxes everywhere, cardamom coffee in glasses.
The city put all her life in the narrow streets crowded and chaotic. Next market, over the maze of hills, the old low arches and steps you enter sneak in the places of religious traditions who look to Jerusalem for thousands of years. Armenians, Greek Orthodox, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims have built monuments to their religious roots. Just behind the Western Wall of the ancient Jewish Temple, leads to a staircase Indoor rises majestically in the sky the golden dome of the Al-Aqsa mosque. Perfectly balances the spaces of the Temple Mount and conveys a sense of calm and good balance, blue embroidery on the walls of white threads, arabesques. It breathes peace and silence in the gardens of the crowded open space and is somewhat reassuring that time measured cyclic the notes of the voice of a muezzin calling to prayer on time, every day, at the same times every day, appointments with the tradition.
Three Steps in Via Dolorosa, difficult to imagine the scourged Christ carry his cross to Calvary, but still find fascinating in its historical sites through which the person is willing to sit down and close your eyes for a moment, in accordance with teachings of the fallen in the wind. Jerusalem by night and day el'alone has a charming atmosphere of mystery. And 'many of the city and all it belongs to, within its walls you can find the most varied cultures and customs, different religions divide the segments of the city as an orange and for once they are together, because a place so rich and precious can not and must not fall into the baseness of intolerance.
