David's Tomb, Jewish tomb on Mount Zion, Jerusalem, Israel

The two-story stone building contains a cenotaph covered with a velvet cloth bearing embroidered metallic letters and Hebrew inscriptions of psalms.

The earliest identification of David's burial site on Mount Zion appears in Muslim literature from the 10th century, while Jewish traditions link it to biblical references.

The tomb serves as a central prayer location for Jewish worshippers who recite psalms and conduct religious ceremonies throughout the year.

The tomb complex remains open daily except between 22:00 and midnight, with modified hours during Sabbath and religious holidays.

The structure includes both the traditional burial site of King David on the lower level and the Room of the Last Supper on its upper floor.
