Jerusalem Citadel

Jerusalem, Israel, Middle East

At the Jaffa Gate of the Old Town one can see an impressive citadel, which is one of the most interesting monuments of medieval Jerusalem. A citadel was built at this place as far back as 2 B.C., but considering numerous destructions of Jerusalem, it was always ruined being one of the main town fortifications. Consequently it was restored by the new rulers of Jerusalem
