Abstract:

Jerusalem, one of the world’s most historically and religiously significant cities, embodies a complex tapestry of cultures, faiths, and geopolitical dynamics. As a sacred city for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, it has been a focal point of spiritual devotion, political disputes, and cultural exchange for millennia. This article explores the multifaceted history of Jerusalem, tracing its evolution from ancient times to the present day. It examines the city’s role in shaping religious identities, its contested status in international politics, and the interplay between historical narratives and contemporary conflicts. Special attention is given to the impact of colonial interventions, territorial divisions, and demographic shifts on the city’s unique character. Furthermore, the article highlights key religious landmarks, including the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, underscoring their significance in both historical and modern contexts. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the study analyzes Jerusalem’s position as both a unifying symbol and a source of division, reflecting broader regional and global tensions. By understanding the city’s past and present complexities, this article aims to contribute to a more nuanced discussion of its future, emphasizing the need for dialogue and coexistence in a city revered by billions worldwide.
