Architects' Tombs, Rock-cut burial site in Jerusalem, Israel
The Architects' Tombs contain multiple chambers carved into limestone, featuring intricate burial benches and stone-cut repositories beneath the main burial area.
Excavations in the late nineteenth century revealed two distinct burial cave systems that date back to the First Temple period of Jerusalem.
The design of burial chambers reflects ancient Judean practices where families maintained continuous burial spaces to preserve their lineage across generations.
The tomb complex sits north of Jerusalem's Old City and remains accessible through a series of descending stone staircases leading to the main chambers.
The entrance chamber displays decorative cornices and sunken panels that mirror architectural elements typically reserved for royal structures of ancient Jerusalem.
