City of David National Park, Archaeological national park in East Jerusalem, Israel
The City of David National Park extends across several levels, containing ancient structures, water systems, and underground passages dating back to biblical Jerusalem.
The park marks the location where King David established Jerusalem as his capital in 1000 BCE, featuring remnants from multiple civilizations over three thousand years.
Archaeological excavations within the park reveal ancient pottery, coins, and building structures that demonstrate the evolution of Jerusalem through different historical periods.
The Siloam Tunnel requires visitors to walk through knee-deep water for 500 meters, making water-resistant shoes and a flashlight essential equipment.
The ancient water system includes the Gihon Spring, which supplied water to Jerusalem's first residents through an underground network of channels carved in bedrock.
