Ir David — or the City of David — is Jerusalem’s oldest settled neighborhood and a major archaeological site that runs from the South of Temple Mount. This picture was taken at the Shiloach Pool, part of the city remains from the Byzantine Era. Archaeologists believed that during the Second Temple Era waters from the Gihon flowed into this pool and were collected in an additional larger pool. Each day, single women would walk down to the pool to collect water in jugs for the city, in hopes of being chosen for marriage. Discovered in the summer of 2004, today it is used as a splashing ground for Orthodox children in Jerusalem on hot summer days.
