Old City of Jerusalem: Zedekiah's Cave

also known as Solomon's Quarries


Zedakia's Cave was a small natural cave until the Second Temple Period when it was enlarged into a huge subterranean stone quarry extending under the houses of the Old City.
This quarry supplied the stone to many magnificent buildings in Jerusalem and, according to common belief, was used to construct the First Temple.
