Jewish Quarter, Historic quarter in Old City of Jerusalem, Israel
The Jewish Quarter spans the southwestern section of Jerusalem's Old City, extending from Zion Gate to the Western Wall and Temple Mount.
Following the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel initiated a complete reconstruction of the quarter, which had remained in ruins since the 1948 conflict.
The quarter contains multiple educational institutions, including yeshivas where students engage in traditional Jewish religious studies and biblical interpretation.
The area houses 3,000 permanent residents and 1,500 students, featuring modern amenities while maintaining traditional architectural elements from different periods.
Archaeological excavations in the quarter revealed a First Temple period mansion with preserved mosaic floors and ritual baths from 2,700 years ago.
