Abstract
Three main religious communities lived in nineteenth century Jerusalem: Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Each had its own religious focal center. The three main communities were further divided according to differences of religious concepts, particularly the Christians, or of places of origin and social frameworks, chiefly the Jews. The power of attraction of several holy sites and the heterogeneity of the population had considerable influence on the nature and pattern of the built-up area. Continuity was the dominant element in the development of the city before World War I, mainly because of the unique nature of Jerusalem as a Holy City.
