The tomb of King David is located on Mount Zion on the lower floor of a building built by the Crusaders directly under the room of the Last Supper. The authenticity of the tomb has not been proven. Perhaps David was buried in the Kedron Valley, the same place where all the rulers of Israel were. The tomb is considered a holy place by Jews, Christians and Muslims.A draped tomb is located in the main hall. There are inscriptions on the walls:"David, the king of Israel, is alive and exists"... The debate about the actual location of the tomb continues to this day. The traditional biblical version says that David was buried in Jerusalem itself.According to Josephus, at the beginning of the Second Temple period, Jews worshipped the tomb of David in Bethlehem. The tomb of King David has become one of the most revered Jewish shrines, despite doubts about its authenticity. This was especially evident during the years of the Jordanian occupation, when access to the Wailing Wall was closed. And wherever in reality the Great Tsar, the great musician and poet was buried, travelers and tourists from all over the world come here to honor the memory of the Great Man ... If you get a chance to visit the Holy Land, the guide will definitely bring you here...And the sacred awe of the majesty of the sculpture of the king will embrace you...
