Summary

Description The w:Old City of Jerusalem in 1937. The w:Jewish quarter is at the bottom of the image. The buildings and houses in the centre are part of the Mughrabi (Maghrebian) Quarter which was cleared by Israel following the Six-Day War in 1967 to create the plaza that exists today. The two large domes are the w:Hurva Synagogue and the w:Tiferet Yisrael synagogue. Both were destroyed by the w:Arab Legion after the 1948 War of Independence. The Western (Wailing) Wall is clearly visible right of centre, below the trees planted on the plaza.
