Not only the excavations of Jerusalem but also other archeological finds make it possible to restore the appearance of the Old City. For example, we can see a piece of mosaic found in the city of Madaba in Jordan. In the upper left corner is written in Greek: Agiapolis Jerusalem. This mosaic is a painting of the holy city of Jerusalem as made on the mosaic floor of the monastery dining room from the 5th century AD. In the center of the town, there is an axis with red-tiled roofs on both sides. West of this axis, one can identify a staircase that leads to the church with a tiled roof and the dome of the great church of the Holy Sepulcher. Two main arteries cross the city from left to right. These are the two Cardo streets - one at the upper town and the other at the lower.
The trip takes us from the Jaffa Gate through the Christian Quarter to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. After that, we will visit Golgotha, the stone of anointing, burial, and resurrection, St. Helena Chapel - the site where the Holy cross was found. Further, the route passes through Muristan to the Jewish Quarter, Kardo Street, excavations of the walls of Jerusalem from the time of Jesus, the mosaic of Madaba, the Hurva Synagogue, the Menorah, the panorama of the Olive and Temple Mountains, the Wailing Wall. Finally, we return to the Jaffa Gate through the Muslim Quarter, the monuments of the Mamluk architecture, and the street of David.
