Since I am probably the only person in this group who has been to Jerusalem, Israel, I think I will do this one. BTW, technically, Haram el Sharif (the building itself) is Jordanian, since it is overseen by a Jordanian waqf. Israel only controls access to the site.
Jerusalem has many symbols, including:
The Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus was crucified
