Location: Old City South Wall, Jerusalem.Client: Jerusalem Foundation Completed: 1978. Team: Shlomo Aronson, Arthur Kutcher, Peter Bugod, David Sagi. |
In 1974, traces were found near the southern walls of Jerusalem of the First and Second Temple periods. To preserve and exhibit these remarkable remains, the road was set back from the wall and raised above the level of the archaeology. A footpath leads through the park, past marked antiquities, creating the setting for the Dung Gate entrance to the Old City. An area, reserved for future excavation, is planted with olive trees and native grasses.
