The Tower of David, an ancient citadel near the Jaffa Gate, now houses the Museum of the History of Jerusalem. Visitors explore millennia of history through artifacts and multimedia exhibits, climb ramparts for sweeping views of the Old City and Mount of Olives, and discover archaeological remains spanning 3,000 years. Its distinctive silhouette and night-time sound-and-light show make it a must-see.
