Quarter
A quarter is a section of an urban settlement. Its borders can be administratively chosen, and it may have its own administrative structure. Such a division is particularly common in countries like Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Germany, Italy, France, or Cambodia. Quarter can also refer to a non-administrative but distinct neighbourhood with its own character: for example, a slum quarter. It is often used for a district connected with a particular group of people: for instance, some cities are said to have Jewish quarters, diplomatic quarters or Bohemian quarters. Most Roman cities were divided to four parts, called Quarters, by their two main avenues: the Cardo and the Decumanus Maximus. The Old City of Jerusalem currently has four quarters: the Muslim Quarter, Christian Quarter, Jewish Quarter and Armenian Quarter. A Christian quarter exists also in Damascus.
