We visit the Saint George church, home of one of the most detailed Mosaic maps in the region dating from the 6th century. The mosaic contains the earliest extant representation of Byzantine Jerusalem, labeled the "Holy City." It also provides important details about its 6th-century landmarks, with the cardo, or central colonnaded street, and the church of the Holy Sepulchre clearly visible. This map is one key in developing scholarly knowledge about the physical layout of Jerusalem after its destruction and rebuilding in 70 AD.
