Jewish Quarter

Why go

Here, the Old City's ancient street plan, religious life and modern rebuilding are close together. The excavated Cardo recalls a Byzantine-era thoroughfare, while the Hurva Synagogue's dome marks a building reconstructed after its destruction in 1948. The Western Wall lies at the quarter's eastern edge, so a walk through the area gives that major site a wider urban context.

What to look for

• The excavated Cardo preserves part of an old north-south street.
• The Hurva Synagogue's dome rises above the quarter.
• The Western Wall is reached from the quarter's eastern side.

Useful to know

• Link the Cardo, Hurva exterior and Western Wall in one walk through the quarter.
• Check separate admission and access for individual attractions before planning to enter them.
