The Tower of David, Jerusalem | Israel Top Attractions

Tower of David

Tower of David

Towering high above Jerusalem’s skyline is the Tower of David, a citadel that is perhaps the only witness to Israel’s long and colorful history. A living museum, the Tower of David is ironically not related to King David and was built in the 2nd century B.C. by the Hasmonean kings.

The location of the tower near the Jaffa Gate on the western side of the Old City of Jerusalem was chosen because it is the highest point on the hill, making it a great defensive fortress that served its purpose for thousands of years.

Today, the Tower of David offers one of the best views of the Old City and serves as its museum covering more than 4,000 years of Jerusalem’s history.

Three walking tours will take you through the different parts of the fortress including the important 2,000-year-old archaeological finds dating to the First Temple period that now serves as a venue for shows, concerts and sound, and light performances. The tower also has several exhibit rooms showcasing Jerusalem under different rulers.

Be one of the millions of visitors to experience Jerusalem’s history through the Tower of David. Book a travel package with La Vacanza today and we’ll take care of your trip to the Holy Land!
