Holy Land Saturday 27th October - Western Cardo & Dung Gate

The Western Cardo is the remnants of the main street which crossed Jerusalem during the Roman- Byzantine era

Below are remains of a magnificent main road from the Roman – Byzantine period serving throughout time until today as a major thoroughfare for shopping. 



Out of the City via the Dung Gate  



Amazing sight of the excavations on the outside of the Old City Wall

Buildings preserved to a considerable height along the fortification line of the first temple period (tenth-sixth centuries BCE) on the eastern edge of the Ophel gate house.




1 Kings 3:1 Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt; he took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house and the house of the Lord and the wall around Jerusalem.
