King Solomon's Quarries.


A part of an ancient quarry, preserved near Damascus Gate and the Tomb of the Garden, one of the possible burial sites of Christ.  According to legend, it is here quarried stone for the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, the great sanctuary of the Jews.  The remains of King Solomon's quarries since attracted by the opportunity to see the scale of the ancient works, to touch the history of the formation of Judaism.
