The City of David is the original core of Jerusalem, a ridge south of the Temple Mount settled three thousand years ago and taken by King David.
Here you can walk Hezekiah's Tunnel, cut through solid rock to carry water in the eighth century BC, and reach the Pool of Siloam at its end. The pool is where Jesus sent a man born blind to wash, and he came back seeing (John 9).
Excavations continue to uncover the streets and walls of the ancient city.
