This status was given to the city by King David, capturing it in a battle with the Eusebians. Archaeological excavations in these places began a long time ago, but stopped for various reasons. The city of David was literally buried under the mountains of garbage, neglected and abandoned. And only in the second half of the twentieth century, excavations resumed, after which the park was open to tourists. But so far, archaeologists have not stopped working, finding more and more ancient monuments. As part of the excursions, you can explore the ground part of the city and the underground tunnel.
