Six onion-roof towers supporting heavens

[bi3mw]

Many towers with onion or bulb-shaped roofs in Jerusalem:

Good find, @Nablator! I guess I was wrong about there being nothing to find.

Note on the book cover:
Sketch [bird's-eye view] of the city of Jerusalem, allegedly by Sebald Rieter, who made a pilgrimage there from Nuremberg with Hans Tucher in 1479, cf. Cgm 24.

So the author has therefore been to Jerusalem himself.
