During the centuries of the crusades,jerusalem was the ethereal vision that moved the armies of europe and islam， but for almost 700 years after the crusades ended,the actual city of jerusalem existed as a shadowy,forgotten backwater,slowly falling into ruin and decay. Not until the 19th century did the city again begin to come alive and reemerge from behind its walls.

在十字軍東征的幾個世紀，耶路撒冷是飄渺的景象感動了歐洲和伊斯蘭的軍隊，但近700年的十字軍東征結束后，耶路撒冷市作為一個實際存在的影子，漸漸地被人們遺忘，慢慢地陷入破產和腐爛。直到19世紀才市又開始活躍起來，并從后面的墻壁重現。
