Gyanvapi, actually written as Jnanavapi, to Hindus, is like what Jerusalem is for Jews, and, the following shloka from Skanda Purana, Kashi khanda confirms it:

Gyanvapi, actually written as Jnanavapi, to Hindus, is like what Jerusalem is for Jews, and, the following shloka from Skanda Purana, Kashi khanda confirms it:
#Gyanvapi
सन्ति तीर्थान्यनेकानि सद्यः शुचिकराण्यपि ।
परंतु ज्ञानवाप्या हि कलां नार्हंति षोडशीम् ।।
Meaning: There are many Tīrthas that sanctify (devotees) immediately. But they are not equal to even a sixteenth part of Gyanavapi.
परंतु ज्ञानवाप्या हि कलां नार्हंति षोडशीम् ।।
Meaning: There are many Tīrthas that sanctify (devotees) immediately. But they are not equal to even a sixteenth part of Gyanavapi.
Skandha Purana also says that every Hindu must visit Gyanvapi:
अहो कथं हि सा लभ्या यत्प्रभावोयमीदृशः ।
धिग्जन्म तेषां मर्त्येऽस्मिन्यैर्नैक्षि ज्ञानवापिका ।।
अहो कथं हि सा लभ्या यत्प्रभावोयमीदृशः ।
धिग्जन्म तेषां मर्त्येऽस्मिन्यैर्नैक्षि ज्ञानवापिका ।।
Meaning- How can it be made possible to attain Jnanavapi whose power is like this? Fie upon the life of those persons in this mortal world, by whom Gyanvapi is not seen!
But, again why Gyanwapi is that important for Hindus? what is so special about it?

The following line from Kashi Khanda, 34.123 clarifies it:
साक्षाच्छिवमयी मूर्तिर्ज्ञानकृज्ज्ञानवापिका ।।
Meaning: Gyanavapi is the cosmic form of Shiva himself.

Meaning: Gyanavapi is the cosmic form of Shiva himself.
