Tower of David, Ancient citadel in Old City, Jerusalem
The Tower of David stands at the entrance of the Old City with massive stone walls, medieval guard rooms, and archaeological remains from multiple periods.
The fortification structure underwent modifications during Byzantine, Crusader, Mamluk, and Ottoman periods, each adding architectural elements to the original Herodian base.
The museum presents Jerusalem's history through exhibits in chronological halls, displaying artifacts from Canaanite times through the establishment of Israel.
The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages, with exhibitions spread across different levels connected by staircases and archaeological pathways.
The citadel contains preserved elements from every major ruling period of Jerusalem, creating a physical timeline spanning over two millennia.
