Jerusalem under Ottoman's rule experienced a slow revival, such as the rebuilding of domed mosques and walls by Suleiman the Great. He also naively believed that if the Golden Gate of Jerusalem where Jesus and the Messiah had entered at the end of the world was closed, Jesus and the Messiah would not be able to enter the city, then the end of the world in Christianity and Judaism would never be real. Now you have to convert to Islam (Jesus - "Big Brother, you're kidding right,") - so if you go to visit Golden Gate today, you will find that it's still blocked by bricks and tiles... Despite all the anecdotes over the centuries, the interest of the Empire rulers in Istanbul in Jerusalem was not particularly strong, so when European countries began to enter modern society, explorers and missionaries who were curious about the East could enter the city without restrictions.
