Yerusalemu

Yerusalemu (kwa Kiebrania ירושלים, Yerushalayim; pia: Kudisi kutoka Kiarabu: القدس, al-Quds)  ni mji wa Mashariki ya Kati wenye pande mbili. Kwa upande mmoja ni mji mkuu wa Israel. Kwa upande mwingine Yerusalemu ya mashariki inatazamwa kuwa mji mkuu wa Palestina, ingawa imetawaliwa na Israel pia tangu 1967. Israel imetangaza tangu mwaka 1980 Yerusalemu yote kuwa mji wake mkuu wa milele, lakini nchi nyingi za dunia hazikubali azimio hilo, hivyo balozi za nchi za kigeni katika Israel ziko nje ya Yerusalemu.

Yerusalemu ina historia ndefu sana.

Yerusalemu katika dini
Ni mji muhimu katika dini tatu zinazofuata imani ya Abrahamu, yaani Uyahudi, Ukristo na Uislamu. Daudi mfalme ndiye aliyeufanya kuwa mji mkuu
 Ukuta wa Maombolezo ni patakatifu pa Wayahudi wanaokwenda kuhiji na kuomboleza kwenye hayo mabaki pekee ya Hekalu la Yerusalemu: ni ukuta uliojengwa na Mfalme Solomoni ili kuzuia vifusi vilivyojaza bonde la mji wa Mfalme Daudi kadiri ya Biblia.
 Kanisa la Kaburi na Ufufuo wa Yesu kama mahali pa ufufuko wa Yesu Kristo ni patakatifu pa Wakristo muhimu kuliko mahali pengine pengi panapotajwa katika Agano Jipya au kuheshimiwa kulingana na matukio ya neema katika historia ya Kanisa. 
 Msikiti wa Al-Aqsa pamoja na msikiti wa Kuba ya Mwamba ni mahali patakatifu pa Waislamu palipotajwa katika Qurani; Waislamu huamini ya kwamba hapa ni mahali pa miraji ya Mtume Muhammad.
