1. Abogado En Jerusalén | abogadoenisrael.com When the Tower of David Museum began constructing a new wing in the year 2000, they probably didn’t expect to unearth an architectural cross-section of Jerusalem history spanning thousands of years! The site of the discovery, referred to as the Kishle (meaning ‘dungeon’), is an Ottoman structure converted by the British for use as a prison during their rule. Archaeologists arrived to do routine inspections of the abandoned area– construction in the Old City being akin to tapping an historical goldmine – and till this day, are still chiseling. This is the ongoing story of the Museum, a place that displays multifarious archaeological finds in both traditional and not-so-traditional formats; a site that hosts exhibits by day and multimedia sound and light shows, most notably the Night Spectacular, by night. Whether viewing glass cabinets and written displays, or cutting-edge animation projected onto the Citadel walls, tourists become fully schooled in Jerusalem’s unique narrative when visiting the Tower of David.

2. Intense excavations accompanied the restoration of this medieval citadel complex in the 1980’s, as the City prepared to restore its early 20th century role as a prestigious arts center. Then-Mayor of Jerusalem and Founder of the Jerusalem Foundation Teddy Kollek spearheaded this project, officially establishing the Museum in 1989. The Foundation has continued to help propel restorations, fund digs and develop gardens and exhibits ever since. This week I found myself taking a guided tour that culminated in a viewing of the Kishle, which has only been open to supervised groups since November 2014. As a vast, rectangular space finished with a vaulted ceiling, it rather recalls the magnificent cathedral naves of yore. Surprisingly, it has functioned as pretty much everything but a place of worship, or so the thus-far peeled layers have shown. King Hezekiah and the Hasmoneans’ respective defensive walls both feature in the archeological remains, as do the foundations of Herod’s huge palatial complex. Deep dyeing wells dating from the Crusaders’ tenancy show on-site activity over the centuries beyond hosting impenetrable barriers and patrolling soldiers. “And they are dyeing wells, not Mikvaot” (baths typically used in Judaism to achieve ritual purity) emphasized the guide, “Herod put Mikvaot all over the place.” Finally, some crude graffiti forms the imprint of the Kishle’s most recent political prisoners, the paramilitary Irgun, who operated prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. The display is an astonishing visual composite of the site’s manifold identities. And a new identity, a contemporary veneer to finish the work of two millennia, is soon to be added. The Museum intends to extend its program of innovative, multimedia exhibits into the Kishle. For More Information Visit here:-https://www.abogadoenisrael.com/
