Model of Ancient Jerusalem: outdoors at the Israel Museum

An extensive model of Jerusalem in the time of the Second Temple is outdoors at the Israel Museum in western Jerusalem. It recreates Jerusalem in 66 CE before its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE. The reconstruction relied on ancient texts and the Mishnah, the Talmud, and the Bible (Old and New Testament). The ancient city was at its largest size, more than twice the size of the current Old City of Jerusalem. In the model you will see The Second Temple, Robinson’s Arch, Wilson’s Arch, the Southern Steps of the Temple, the Eastern Gate , the Nikanor Gate and the Golden Gate, the Antonia Fortress, Herod’s Palace, the top of Mount Zion with the building that houses the Room of the Last Supper (the Upper Room) and the Tomb of King David on the floor below, the locations of Golgotha and the Garden Tomb, the Pool of Bethesda, the Sheep Gate, the Pool of Siloam, and modest and very large homes.
