City of David (archaeological site)

The City of David (Hebrew: עיר דוד, romanized: ʿĪr Davīd), known locally mostly in Arabic as Wadi Hilweh (Arabic: وادي حلوة, romanized: Wādī Ḥulwah), is the name given to an archaeological site considered by most scholars to be the original settlement core of Jerusalem during the Bronze and Iron Ages. It is situated on southern part of the eastern ridge of ancient Jerusalem, west of the Kidron Valley and east of the Tyropoeon Valley, to the immediate south of the Temple Mount and separated from it by the so-called Ophel saddle.
