The Broad Wall - Hezekiah's Wall

The Broad Wall, also known as Hezekiah's Wall, invites you to walk through the heart of the Old City and watch Biblical history come to life right before your eyes. During your visit, you will dive into the wall's fascinating story through an innovative and spectacular 12-minute audiovisual show that takes you on a journey back in time to the days of fear and resourcefulness during the Assyrian siege. The show illustrates the rapid construction of the mighty wall and reveals the story of the heroism of Jerusalem's residents in ancient times. Alongside the Biblical experience, you will also discover the drama of the modern era and the story of the site's discovery after thousands of years buried underground. The dramatic uncovering of the Broad Wall once and for all settled the long-standing archaeological and scientific debate over the true size of Jerusalem during the First Temple period, and today it lets visitors touch the very stones that shaped the boundaries of the Old City.
