∙ 16y agoToward sunset on an evening when the light is extremelyclear, you can recognize the Mediterranean Sea and 2 towers of Ashdod (about 60 km to the west) from a look-out panoramic place known colloquially in Hebrew as "Ha-Psanter" ("The Piano"). This spot, on the edge of the Aminadav Forest on the southwestern outskirts of Jerusalem, is built in the shape of the keys of a piano and is a memorial tribute to the pianist Arthur (Artur) Rubinstein.

There are bout 60KM or 37 Miles between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on the coast of the Mediterranean sea.
Ancient Rome was built on seven hills, but was nowhere near the Mediterranean sea proper. Rome was/is relatively inland and its nearest sea is the Tyrrhonian sea which could be loosely called an arm of the Mediterranean.
Jerusalem is in Israel which is in the middle east
Jerusalem is near the river Jordan and the Red Sea, but there are no bodies of water that are actually in Jerusalem.
no such thing
Jerusalem is 32.6 miles from the Mediterranean or roughly 30-40 minutes by car. However, some of that time is the traffic coming into Tel Aviv.
Jerusalem is a city. The Galilee is an area in Northern Israel primarily formed by two mountain ranges and bounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the West and the Sea of Galilee to the east. The Galilee is over 100Km (or more depending where in the Galilee) north of Jerusalem Galilee and Jerusalem are both in Israel.
Both are inland. In the early part of the first century, Nazareth was a small, rural hamlet in Galilee, well inland from the Mediterranean Sea. Jerusalem is an inland city in what was then called Judea.
Jerusalem had a monarchy where Israel was ruled by kings. It is located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, it is one of the oldest cities in the world.
Tel Aviv is on the Mediterranean seaboard, on sea level, while Jerusalem is inland and atop mountains.
Jerusalem isn't on the coast, but there are a number of "seas" that lie between them. The primary one, which nominally includes all the others, would be the Mediterranean, but the Ionian and Aegean Seas around Greece would qualify, as might the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. In fact, the fabled "Seven Seas" of myth and legend are mostly subdivisions of the Mediterranean.
