Encyclopedic overview
The Muslim Quarter (Arabic: حارة المسلمين, romanized: Ḥāraṫ al-Muslimīn; Hebrew: הרובע המוסלמי, romanized: Ha-Rovah ha-Muslemi) is one of the four sectors of the ancient, walled Old City of Jerusalem. It covers 31 hectares (77 acres) of the northeastern sector of the Old City. The quarter is the largest and most populous of the four quarters and extends from the Lions' Gate in the east, along the northern wall of the Temple Mount in the south, to the Damascus Gate—Western Wall route in the west. The Via Dolorosa starts in this quarter, a path Jesus had to take when he was forced by Roman soldiers. The population of the Muslim Quarter was reported in 2012 as 22,000.
