Broad Wall, Archaeological fortification in Jewish Quarter, Israel.
The Broad Wall extends for 65 meters with a width of 7 meters, featuring large stone blocks that demonstrate advanced construction methods of ancient Jerusalem.
Carbon dating in 2024 revealed the wall's construction during King Uzziah's reign, earlier than previous estimates that attributed it to King Hezekiah's period.
The wall's construction required the demolition of existing houses, a situation addressed in the biblical texts of prophet Isaiah regarding Jerusalem's defensive needs.
Visitors can observe the preserved sections reaching 3.3 meters in height, with informative diagrams explaining the wall's original position in ancient Jerusalem.
The discovery of this massive defensive structure proved that Jerusalem extended beyond the City of David by the late 8th century BCE.
