This traditional bird's-eye view of Jerusalem from the east is based on an on-site drawing by Bernardino Amico in the late sixteenth century. It presents an accurate picture of the city as it appeared after the walls were rebuilt by Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566), the same walls that surround the Old City today. A numbered legend at the bottom identifies 45 holy sites and historical landmarks.
