One should face Jerusalem during Davening, especially during the silent Amida.
In Jerusalem one should face the Temple Mount, and the place where the Kodesh-Kodashim (the Holies of Holies in the Bet Hamikdash) was.
If one started the Amida facing the wrong direction one may not change direction, though - if practical - one should turn ones face to the correct direction.
If there are non-Jewish religious emblems in ones line of vision, one should pray towards another direction.
