Various excavations have been carried out here for many years, which confirm that this is the oldest part of Jerusalem. The city of David is located on a hill where old Jerusalem was unearthed from 1000 BC
The archaeological exploration of the area began in the nineteenth century, and the city was discovered by Charles Warren in 1867.
