However the most historic city in the world is of course Jerusalem.  The city has six items of treasure:

1. Church of the Holy Sepulchre

2. Temple Mount/Dome of the Rock

3. The Western Wall

4. Mount Zion

5. Via Dolorosa

6. Mount of Olives

You cannot make a price for each of the above items.  To save these items, all the Christians in the world, including the Pope, will pay billions of dollars.

But of course the most valuable asset for men is peace.
Jerusalem - whose name, according to tradition, is derived from the two Hebrew words "Ir" meaning city and "shalom" meaning peace - embodies the hope expressed in mankind's noblest aspiration: peace among all men. The freedom of worship which is enjoyed by Jews, Muslims and Christians at their holy sites, just a short distance from one another, and the daily contacts among the city's various ethnic and religious groups, each of which boasts a long-standing cultural tradition, can serve as a pattern of peace and coexistence to be emulated throughout the region.

Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Mat 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
