This article provides a brief overview of Spain’s historical ties to Jerusalem, arguing that a Mediterranean approach to Spanish Jerusalem encourages us to resituate the Holy City in both space and time as a key location in the articulation of Spanish imperial and national identity. By recovering the fundamental Mediterraneanness of Spanish entanglements with Jerusalem, scholars are also obliged to recognize at once the complex, interdependent, porous borders through which the categories of empire and nation are regularly negotiated, and the profoundly transtemporal resonance of those configurations, which continue to matter today
