Ir David

The City of David is the actual location of the Biblical city of Jerusalem captured by King David over 3,000 years ago. Buried and forgotten for two thousand years, the City of David Foundation is working to uncover this ancient treasure and share it with the world. The City of David Foundation was established in 1986 to uncover Ancient Jerusalem and is dedicated to the preservation and development of the Biblical City of David and its environs. It is committed to continuing King David’s legacy as well as revealing and connecting people to Ancient Jerusalem’s glorious past through four key initiatives: archaeological excavation, tourism development, educational programming and residential revitalization.
