City of David
From King David to King Solomon to the Prophet Hezekiah, the City of David, bore witness to ancient Jerusalem’s historic highs and lows. Since the 19th century excavations, led by Charles Warren, a British army officer, amazing relics have been unearthed from these hallowed stones, including 2,000-year-old gold earrings and hundreds of ancient coins. Waterways, cisterns and wells, were also uncovered in the City demonstrating how ancient residents survived in the walled area during sieges and wars.
