Old City (Jerusalem)
The Old City (Hebrew: העיר העתיקה, Ha'Ir Ha'Atiqah, Arabic: البلدة القديمة, al-Balda al-Qadimah, Turkish: Kudüs, Armenian: Երուսաղեմի հին քաղաք, Yerusaghemi hin k'aghak' ) is a 0.9 square kilometers (0.35 sq mi) walled area within the modern city of Jerusalem. Until 1860, when the Jewish neighborhood Mishkenot Sha'ananim was established, this area constituted the entire city of Jerusalem. The Old City is home to several sites of key religious importance: the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque for Muslims, the Temple Mount and Western Wall for Jews and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Christians, It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site List in 1981.
Traditionally, the Old City has been divided into four uneven quarters, although the current designations were introduced only in the 19th century. Today, the Old City is roughly divided (going counterclockwise from the northeastern corner) into the Muslim Quarter, Christian Quarter, Armenian Quarter and Jewish Quarter. The Old City's monumental defensive walls and city gates were built in the years 1535-1542 by the Turkish sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The current population of the Old City resides mostly in the Muslim and Christian quarters. As of 2007 the total population was 36,965; the breakdown of religious groups in 2006 was 27,500 Muslims (up from ca. 17,000 in 1967, with over 30,000 by 2013, tendency: growing); 5,681 Christians (ca. 6,000 in 1967), not including the 790 Armenians (down to ca. 500 by 2011, tendency: decreasing); and 3,089 Jews (starting with none in 1967, as they were evicted after the Old City was captured by Jordan following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, with almost 3,000 plus some 1,500 yeshiva students by 2013, tendency: growing).

Summer Of Some Odd Year
by: Old JerusalemThe summer I met you I passed it at a café somewhere near here
Didn’t think much about much, minor worries in mind
And a strange kind of feeling towards feelings and such
But love as much in the heart as these thoughts I could never understand
Of how a man can grow older to be something else he hasn’t been before;
There were sunsets and motorcycles parking in
And the rumble of the small cars that our friends could afford
And the talks were a bore compared to the present days that I now live
But I’d give something and you would give something to go back
To that lack of understanding of all the things that would come on
The long, long wasted afternoons talking about us, raving about us, just bragging about our love
And how we met, and how we were free and so on and so on
So long to those days of caring and carelessness and restlessness and joy in mess
It’s a part of what we’ll always be and never be the same
Your trip to Prague went fine, you were back in no time and then
We rushed to meet and talk and enjoy our feeling of newly found old friends
That’s how we felt, it seemed we’d always been in each other’s lives
August gave rise to that first kiss on your front lawn
And that first song I showed you was me showing that I’m sad
Which is not bad if it can collect pieces of you like it did
And I partially hid my fear, my permanent fear of people leaving my life at some point
But that I’d be showing later letting you know about “Grace Cathedral Park”
That we heard in the dark of the trees we saw waving outside your door
It was more beauty than I could ever dream and there’d be more to come
The piano sound and the TV blaring soaps
But our hopes for something more would turn out to be too much
There’s no such thing it seems as eternal bliss
And we both miss all of the times that we cannot now replicate
