The Third Wall, Ancient defensive fortification in north Jerusalem, Israel.
The Third Wall extends through the northern section of Jerusalem with large limestone blocks marking its original path through the modern city layout.
Constructed around 40 CE under Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great, the wall served as protection during conflicts between Jewish defenders and Roman forces.
The Third Wall represents the determination of Jerusalem's inhabitants to maintain their independence, as recorded in Josephus' historical text The Jewish War.
Sections of the original wall structure remain visible near a gas station in East Jerusalem, where visitors can examine the ancient construction methods.
The wall's construction ceased temporarily when Roman authorities suspected it might become a strategic defensive position against their own forces.
