The Moses Montefiore Windmill or Jaffa Gate Windmill is a landmark windmill in Jerusalem, Israel. Built by sir Moses Montefiorein the Yemin Moshe neighborhood of Jerusalem in 1857, which was then in Ottoman-ruled Palestine, it is 59 feet (18 m) high, and at that time was used for grinding grain into flour.
A mountainous walled city with a 5,000-year history, Jerusalem is sacred to the three great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam - which means it is sacred to more than a third of the world's population. For Jews, Jerusalem is the site of the Temple, now in ruins except for the Western Wall; for Christians, it is the site of Christ's death and resurrection; for Muslims, it is the site of the Prophet's night journey to heaven. Jerusalem is therefore a major site of pilgrimage for all three religions as well as, unfortunately, a place of religio-political tension over this important piece of land. The city is also popular destination for non-religious travelers, thanks to its unmatched historical and spiritual importance, its network of museums and concerts, and the archeological treasures that are continually discovered here.
