In front of us is a view of the southern part of the Temple Mount. Below us are the stairs that descend from Mount Zion to the Western Wall plaza. Once in the wadi between Mount Zion and the Temple Mount, Cardo Street of the lower city passed. In Roman times the wadi was called Tarofion - a place where made cheeses. A wall before the Babylonian exile surrounded Mount Zion, on which the upper town was located. The city's topography has not changed, and as before, to reach the Temple Mount, we must descend Mount Zion.
The trip takes us from the Jaffa Gate through the Christian Quarter to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. After that, we will visit Golgotha, the stone of anointing, burial, and resurrection, St. Helena Chapel - the site where the Holy cross was found. Further, the route passes through Muristan to the Jewish Quarter, Kardo Street, excavations of the walls of Jerusalem from the time of Jesus, the mosaic of Madaba, the Hurva Synagogue, the Menorah, the panorama of the Olive and Temple Mountains, the Wailing Wall. Finally, we return to the Jaffa Gate through the Muslim Quarter, the monuments of the Mamluk architecture, and the street of David.
