A city that remembers King Solomon, Saladin, and the Crusaders lifts the veil on its past. In this book, Jerusalem is not just a point on a map, but a living witness of history—one that has survived rises and falls, whose fate is astonishing in the sheer number and drama of events. Yes, every city has its own mysteries—but here it seems there are more of them than anywhere else.
Formed in ancient times, Jerusalem has seen bloody wars, periods of Islamic rule, and the age of the Crusades. On its share fell invasions and devastation, times of flourishing and decline; it was both a capital and a quiet province. In its memory are King Solomon, Alexander the Great, Sultan Saladin, and many others.
Open the book and you’ll understand: by the density of historical turning points connected to it, Jerusalem seems to “overtake” most cities in the world. The secrets that emerge on these pages will surprise and captivate every reader.
