David's Tomb

The monument is a Jewish holy site on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, Israel, housed within a two-story stone building. Inside, a cenotaph stands covered with a velvet cloth bearing embroidered Hebrew inscriptions of psalms in metallic letters.

Muslim literature from the 10th century provides the earliest written reference to this burial site on Mount Zion. Jewish tradition connects the location with biblical passages about the burial of King David.

The site draws Jewish pilgrims who come here to pray and hold religious ceremonies throughout the year. Worshippers gather to recite psalms and observe moments of devotion at this sacred location.

The complex opens its doors daily and closes between 22:00 and midnight. During Sabbath and religious holidays, modified opening hours apply.

The building houses both the traditional burial site of King David on the lower level and the Room of the Last Supper on its upper floor. This dual function brings together two central religious traditions under one roof.
