Jerusalem (Hebrew: Yerushalayim, Arabic: al-Quds) is a key religious city for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Because of this, it naturally has a great many religious structures - including a lot of churches. Nearly every denomination of Christianity has some sort of presence in Jerusalem and those that have been around the longest have the most visible presence: large, ornate churches of great antiquity, some going back thousands of years.
