THE MAIN PLACES SACRED IN JERUSALEM AND THEIR MEANING THEOLOGICAL
The idea to turn a particular attention to Jerusalem it comes from the fact that Jerusalem has been and it is still considered sacred place both by the Hebrews and by the Christians. The city of Jerusalem rather has a history plurimillennial. Placed to the northern extremity of the Dead Sea and to south in comparison to Capernaum,¹
it rose on the southeastern hill, to be precise on the place that would have been called subsequently David's city
and that it is denominated by the researchers with the technical name of Ofel. Such was perhaps the nucleus of the city for a long period. Three deep valleys perfectly defended the hill from as many sides: to east the Kidron, the Ge Ben Hinnom to south and the Gay to west. Only to north it was connected, by a sweet undulation, with the mount of the Temple, that is a long hill and narrow. The surface of the ancient city was about 4,5 hectares. The geographical position in Jerusalem presents numerous advantages worthy of note: from the point of view strategic the city, situated as it was on the line dividing the waters, knot of confluence of the principal streets, surrounded from valleys, it could easily be defended.²
Although to the light of the precedent motive the majority of the researchers has faced the argument from different points of view,³ we consider opportune, in this study, to give in a first moment a panoramic on the topography of the principal monuments and infrastructures that are present in Jerusalem and, in a second moment, to point out their theological meaning of it, with the purpose to understand the true sense that the image of the Jerusalem of the saint sepulchre, become by now a symbol, it contains to itself.
1. The temple
1.1. The pinnacle
Matthew begins to mention the holy city when Satan conducts Jesus on the pinnacle of the temple (Mt 4,5.7). The temple, built from Herod in the holy city to the time of Jesus, it is situated to northwest and it is constituted by the Solomon's portico, by the courtyard of the Kind ones, by the door of the sheeps and by other three doors, included the royal portico:
On the right the temple of Herod it was surrounded by a series of courtyards to which, in the order, the access was forbidden sooner to the foreigners, later to the women, finally to the men who were not priests or levites. In front of the principal building there was the altar of the holocausts; a ramp on the left side allowed the priests to climb at the top of the altar. Inside the principal building there was the altar of the incense, over which, separated by the veil of the temple, it opened the saint of the saints
.⁴
The pinnacle of the temple, whose Matthew speaks to us, was situated in the tallest part of the temple and stuck out southwest, or for better saying it was the lateral element of the façade
⁵ of the temple, ever since the tallest part included «the building that gave hospitality to the saint
and the saint of the saints
»⁶. It was in the project of the plain of the salvation of God that Jesus was tried by the devil during his stay of 40 days in the desert. In this way Matthew begins to the chapter 4: "Then Jesus was conducted by the Spirit in the desert to be tried by the
