JERUSALEM, Ancient maps of Jerusalem | thumbnails | ** | *** | Crusader period - A dozen maps of Jerusalem have survived from the Crusader period (1099-1187) as well as from the 13th and 14th centuries. Each map is identified by the place where it was found. Many of the maps are round and depict Jerusalem as a circle, with the major thoroughfares dividing it in a cruciform pattern, making the O-T map pattern described above very obvious. Some of the round maps are extremely schematic, while others are more detailed and vary in artistic quality. They all contain reiterative elements: the perimeter of the circle portrays the city wall with towers protruding from it, and five visible gates: St. Stephen's Gate, David Gate, Zion Gate, the Golden Gate and Valley of Jehosaphat Gate. Other sites in the city are also discernable, such as the inner gates, major roads, the citadel, the Temple Mount, and major churches within and without the city wall, among them, the Holy Sepulchre.
