Buried since the Roman destruction of the Hebrew capital, the ancient road once walked by thousands of pilgrims from the City of David to the Temple Mount is now open to the public.
Carved in stone, sealed under Jerusalem for millennia, it has been carefully uncovered step by step. Israelis can now walk the same stones as their forefathers.

Another pilgrimage route reopens!
A truly historic moment - the newly opened Pilgrimage Road at the City of David is welcoming visitors for the first time in nearly 2,000 years.
This stone-paved path once carried pilgrims from the Pool of Siloam up to the Temple Mount for Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot, alive with shops and daily life during the Second Temple period.
Buried for centuries and uncovered stone by stone, it now offers the rare opportunity to walk the very road your ancestors walked, bringing history to life beneath your feet.
