Jewish Quarter

We walked back to the Jewish Quarter. There is a Jewish, Armenian, Muslim and Christian Quarter in the old city, and they are all quite different.


The Jewish quarter is more open.
Apparently this is because it was bombed more severely.
When they cleaned everything up they decided to do some excavations, and found the Cardo.

This is the Cardo, the main street in the Roman period. It is low because over time the city was built on top of it.

This is typical: old + new + a building crane
