HaSanhedrin Garden

The garden contains 63 rock-cut tombs arranged in an underground complex, featuring carved facades showing ancient architectural designs and patterns.

Established in 1949, this garden surrounds burial chambers from the 1st century CE that mirror the number of members in the Great Sanhedrin council.

The tombs within the garden represent traditional Jewish burial customs and serve as a testament to the judicial authority of ancient Jerusalem.

Located in the Sanhedria neighborhood, the garden covers 28 dunams and includes benches near the quarry entrance for visitors to rest.

The central burial chamber contains multiple niches arranged on two levels, with the largest section housing thirteen arched burial spaces.
