The Madaba Mosaic Map depicts Jerusalem with the New Church of the Theotokos, which was dedicated on 20 November 542. Buildings erected in Jerusalem after 570 are absent from the depiction, thus limiting the date range of its creation to the period between 542 and 570. The mosaic was made by unknown artists, probably for the Christian community of Madaba, which was the seat of a bishop at that time.
The Madaba Map: Housed inside the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint George, this 6th-century mosaic floor was constructed from over 2 million colored stones. It depicts biblical sites from Lebanon to the Nile Delta and includes the most detailed ancient depiction of Jerusalem.
