Summary:

"Of immense significance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the Holy Land has been attracting visitors since the fifth century BC. With even-handed authority and reverence, this book describes a huge variety of sites, including Stone Age caves, the grandiose buildings of Herod the Great, Roman roads, Byzantine churches and synagogues, the hunting palaces of Muslim princes and the mosques they frequented, Crusader castles and chapels, and beautifully decorated Mamluk houses. Covering all the main sites in the city of Jerusalem and throughout Israel, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights, this is the ultimate visitor guide to the rich archeaological heritage of the region"--Page 4 of cover
