rebuilt and completed in 2010 in the exact way it used to look.
Cardo - The main shopping street during the Roman, Crusader, and Muslim Days (their version of 5th Avenue). Today it continues to be the main shopping street in the old city.
Broad Wall - The wall is mentioned in Tanach (Bible) in the Book of Kings, Isaiah, and Nechamia. One of the greatest archeological proofs of the Biblical events.
