Introduction

Translated content: Located near the Jaffa Gate in the ancient citadel and the Old City of Jerusalem, the "Tower of David" is named after the Byzantine Christians as the site of King David's Palace. It is believed that this fortress was built in the 2nd century BC to fortify a vulnerable point in the Old City of Jerusalem. It has undergone multiple destructions and reconstructions. The ancient citadel encompasses important archaeological sites with a history dating back over 2,700 years. Today, it has become a popular attraction for exhibiting crafts, hosting concerts, and sound and light shows.
