ISRAEL

A nice cover from Israel, depicting a miniature sheet issued in 2018 celebrating the song "Jerusalém of Gold".
The old City of Jerusalem and its walls are inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site since 2000. As a holy city of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Jerusalem has always been of great symbolic importance. Among its 220 historic monuments, the Dome of the Rock stands out: built in the 7th century, it is decorated with beautiful geometric and floral motifs. It is recognized by all three religions as the site of Abraham's sacrífice. The Wailing Wall delimits the quarters of the different religious communities, while the Ressurrection rotunda in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre houses Christ's tomb.
