The Wohl Archaeological Museum is an exhibition comprising six houses from the reign of Herod the Great located within the Old City of Jerusalem. You can see mosaics, architectural elements, amphoras and vases, as well as furnishings of rich Jerusalem houses from the first century BC
The houses facing the Temple Mount were discovered during the tidying up of the Old City area in Jerusalem after the Six-Day War. Scientists then located six well-preserved houses, which in the past belonged to the richest citizens of Jerusalem. They are decorated with the use of Greek and Roman elements, which shows that Jewish elites willingly adopted antique novelties.
The museum, also known as the Herod District, is the best-preserved example of ancient building in Israel. The entire tourist route is below ground level. Further rooms and their equipment are presented here. The floors are covered with mosaics with floral and geometric layouts. Columns, cornices and pillars, as well as stone elements of home furnishings have survived. The equipment in which the houses were equipped was also shown.
