Wikipedia's list of specific sacred places names sites such as "Yazd Atash Behram" and "the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron," each tied to a specific country. Browsing by country lets a visitor find every sacred site within one nation's borders.FactsLearn MoreIsraelSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedHoliness bound to the land of Israel and above all to Jerusalem and the Temple, together with the tombs of patriarchs and sages and the synagogues of the diaspora. Several members are under contested control and are claimed by more than one tradition; where that is so the atlas records each tradition's claim under its own name for the place, and treats neither name as the place's own. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedSacred Sites 1Learn MoreThe holy places of Judaism This group gathers the sacred sites of Judaism, whose holiness is bound above all to the land of Israel and to Jerusalem, the site of the Temple. With the Temple long destroyed, its surviving Western Wall is the most venerated site in Jewish tradition, and the tombs of the patriarchs and sages are places of prayer and pilgrimage. The browser will find Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, the patriarchal tombs, ancient synagogues and other holy places. The entries describe each site's history and religious meaning across the long span of Jewish tradition.IsraelFilter Results8 entriesPilgrimage StatusAllMajor pilgrimage destination today (3)Pilgrimage attested historically; not continuing (1)Pilgrimage gathered on a dated festival (2)UNESCO World Heritage StatusAllInscribed on the World Heritage List (1)Inscribed on the World Heritage List and on the List in Danger (2)Not Inscribed (5)Originated InAllThe Levant (8)Origin Period Start YearAll-20 (1)1500 (1)Practice StatusAllAccess restricted by its custodians or by law (1)Control of or access to the site is contested (3)Historical; not practised continuously (1)In active religious use (6)Ruin or archaeological site; the cult has ceased (1)Site TypeAllChurch, cathedral or chapel (1)Sacred city or quarter (1)Sacred mountain, hill or peak (2)Sanctuary or oracle complex (1)Shrine (1)Synagogue (1)Temple or temple complex (1)Tomb or grave of a holy figure (1)TraditionAllChristianity (3)Islam (1)Judaism (8)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 8MasadaIsraelMeronIsraelMount of OlivesIsraelMount ZionIsraelSafedIsraelThe First Temple (Solomon's Temple)IsraelThe Temple Mount and al-Haram al-SharifIsraelThe Western WallIsraelSources1.
