Davidson Center

This guide to the Davidson Center in Jerusalem stands you on the paved street that once ran beneath the Temple Mount, worn by pilgrims heading up to the Second Temple and, tradition holds, by sages like Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai. It follows what happened above this street in the year 70, when Roman legions under Titus stormed the city and tore down the grand archway Herod's engineers had built into the wall beside it. Look down at the paving stones underfoot as you listen; they have not been swept in two thousand years.
