The city of Jerusalem, which is considered holy by Muslims, Christians, and Jews, has an ancient history dating back to around 4000 BCE. The dominion of states representing these religions in different periods of Jerusalem's history paved the way for the emergence of sacred sites belonging to the three religions in the city.
