At-Tur ((アラビア語:الطور), lit. "The Mount" in Arabic〔Palmer, 1881, p. (330 )〕) is an Arab majority neighborhood on the Mount of Olives approximately 1 km east of the Old City of Jerusalem. At-Tur is situated in East Jerusalem, which was annexed by Israel after the Six-Day War in 1967. ==History== The Chapel of the Ascension is located in At-Tur. Located on the Mount of Olives, the chapel is part of a larger complex consisting first of a Christian church and monastery, then an Islamic mosque. It is located on a site which the Christian faithful traditionally believe to be the earthly spot where Jesus ascended into Heaven forty days after his resurrection. In 1596, the village appeared as ''Tur Zayta'' in Ottoman tax registers as being in the ''Nahiya'' of Quds of the ''Liwa'' of Quds. It had a population of 48 Muslim households and 8 bachelors, and paid taxes on wheat, barley, vines or fruit trees, and goats or beehives.〔Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 118〕 An Ottoman village list of about 1870 counted 38 houses and a population of 127, though the population count included men only. It was described as a village on the Mount of Olives.〔Socin, 1879, p. (162 )〕 In 1883, the Palestine Exploration Fund's ''Survey of Western Palestine'' (SWP) described At-Tur as "a small straggling village on the top of Olivet. The houses are built of stone, but low and mean. The church of the Ascension, now a mosque, stands towards the west at the brow of the hill."〔Conder and Kitchener, 1883, SWP III, p. (30 )〕 In 1945 the population of Et Tur was 2,770; 2,380 Muslims and 390 Christians,〔Department of Statistics, 1945, p. ( 25 )〕 who owned 8,808 dunams of land according to an official land and population survey.〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. ( 58 )〕 228 dunams were plantations and irrigable land, 2,838 for cereals,〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (104 )〕 while 86 dunams were built-up (urban) land.〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945''; quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (154 )〕 At-Tur has a population of 18,150, mostly Muslims with a small Christian minority.
