The Armenian Quarter refers to one of the four quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem, alongside the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian Quarters.

• The Armenian Quarter is located in the southwestern part of the Old City.

• It is one of the oldest Armenian communities in the world, with a continuous presence since the 4th century.

• It is home to the Cathedral of St. James, the seat of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem. The Armenian community in Jerusalem enjoys cultural and religious autonomy within the Old City. The Quarter also contains an important Armenian library, printing press, and seminary.

Political status:

Although located in East Jerusalem (a territory annexed by Israel but claimed by Palestinians), the Armenian Quarter is often considered a relatively neutral Christian enclave, though it has recently been affected by tensions related to property disputes and religious claims.
