There is no such place as "Palestine."

Edit:
Alright, alright. If you're really interested in this kind of thing, you'll learn very quickly to be careful with your terminology.

HaKotel (Western Wall) - Jewish
Temple Mount/Harm al-Sharif - Jewish, Muslim
Al-Aqsa Mosque - Muslim
Dome of the Rock - Muslim
Church of the Holy Sepulchre - Christian

These are just a few, of course.

While Christians may view church buildings as special, maybe even sacred in the sense they are set apart for God's use, the idea of a holy building is antithetical to the Christian teaching that Christians themselves are God's Temple, His holy dwelling place. (1 Corinthians 3:9, 16,17)

In the Holy Land, Christians would regard the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the Church of the Holy Seplecure in Jerusalem as special sites (the alleged places where Jesus was born, died and was buried -the events really happened, just not quite sure of the exact spot ).

There are no holy sites in the Palestinian Authority.
Israel, however, has sites holy to all three religions.
For example:
The Dome of the Rock is a mosque holy to Muslims, which they built on the ruins of the Jewish Temple.
The Western Wall is the only standing remnant of the aforementioned Temple, and it is holy to Jews.
Not fat from the Western Wall stands the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which is said to contain the place where Jesus was buried.
There are so many other holy sites in Israel. For more information on them, you can look here:

Wailing Wall (Jews, believed 2 b only remnant of ancient temple).
Dome of the Rock (Muslims, believed 2 b site where Mohammed ascended 2 heaven)

Those are the only 2 I know of, and I'm not 100% sure how accurate they are.
