TV series filmed in Jerusalem

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Jerusalem as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

  • The Last Temptation of Christ 1988
    “Meknes was used for the scenes in Jerusalem and the stables of Ismail Ibn Sharif were similar to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which Scorsese had hoped to use for the 1983 shoot.” Wikipedia

Set here

Manga that take place here. Nothing drawn was ever filmed here, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Jerusalem, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
