For Events
This unique center offers numerous adventures and experiences that will give you a glimpse into the historical events that led to the unification of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War.

On-site, you’ll take walks around the battle canals, bunkers, armored vehicles from 1948, half-track tank, and an audio-visual presentation that will tell you the moving stories of victory that took place here. It is the setting of the hardest battle the Israeli army led with the Jordanians, but that’s not the reason this spot attracts so many visitors. The veterans are still present in the canals, sharing their fascinating stories about Jerusalem. You’ll get the chance to touch these stones, feel their roughness, hide in the narrow bunkers and look on the view that opens from the slits. Another essential item in the area is a small cardboard sign, on which the warriors expressed in writing the respect they have for their enemy, which teaches us a lot about human dignity. 

A new multimedia museum was established in the area three years ago. There you can walk in the caves and hear the excited voices announcing “The Temple Mount ours!” to see the flag that was hoisted over the Western Wall at the end of the battle, hear the original announcements of the IDF’s Spokesman and more. The tour in the Heritage Center includes an audio-visual presentation telling the story of veterans telling their personal war stories to their grandchildren. Next, you’ll proceed to the battle canals on the Ammunition Hill and finish the tour with a moving journey in the museum and animated films about the warriors and the city that used to be, and the excitement of putting on the Israeli flag over the Western Wall.

    This museum is a mix of the good with the not so good. The main museum exhibit really wants you to listen to the audio guide or to have a guided tour. If you, like me, just want to read everything, then be prepared for so...
