Tulkarm
Palestine
Tulkarm is a West Bank town with a walkable centre carrying a notable concentration of historic churches, reflecting its history as one of the larger Christian communities in the region. The town traces its origins to Canaanite settlement around 3000 BCE — its ancient name meaning "hill of the vine" — and has passed through Assyrian, Roman, Byzantine, Crusader, Mamluk, and Ottoman rule before coming under Palestinian Authority governance in 1995.
