Jerusalem the Old City Wall Map - Published 1996 by National Geographic

Jerusalem: The Old City — National Geographic Wall Map (1996)

Streets of faith inside ancient walls. Published in April 1996, this finely crafted Jerusalem: The Old City wall map highlights the city’s many historic and sacred sites with exceptional clarity. The Christian, Armenian, Muslim, and Jewish quarters are shown in distinct colours, while concise notes identify the most significant places within the walled city—and key landmarks beyond the walls. Issued alongside the companion “Jerusalem” map and the article “The Three Faces of Jerusalem,” it’s a beautiful blend of scholarship and legibility—made to command a wall and reward close study.

More Than a Map – A Testament to Place

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding Jerusalem’s Old City at a glance: its quarters, gates, markets, and holy sites layered across millennia. Ideal for educators, historians, travellers, designers, and collectors, it pairs perfectly with broader city and regional maps for comparative displays.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
