Ramparts, Citadel and the Tower of David


One afternoon we toured the Citadel and the Tower of David. Probably the most interesting part, however, was taking the Ramparts walk. The walls of the Old City were built in the 1500s by Sulieman the Magnificent, and there's a path you can take from the Jaffa Gate toward the Zion Gate in one direction and the Damascus Gate in the other. It costs a couple of shekels, and it closes to the public at night.
