Claims about Jerusalem are not just modern but are rooted in the past like the one laid by the Spanish monarchy. Chad Leahy takes us through Jerusalem of the 17th century and how the city was imagined in Spain but more importantly how Jerusalem shaped the emerging Spanish national consciousness. Chad also talks about the Custody of Holy Land and the Obra Pia, two key intuitions in Jerusalem and Spain.
