The Tower of David (Hebrew: , Migdal David, Arabic: , Burj Daud) is an ancient citadel located near the Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem. Built to strengthen a strategically weak point in the Old City''s defenses, the citadel was constructed during the second century BCE and subsequently destroyed and rebuilt by, in succession, the Christian, Muslim, Mamluk, and Ottoman conquerors of Jerusalem. It contains important archaeological finds dating back 2,700 years, and is a popular venue for benefit events, craft shows, concerts, and sound-and-light performances. The name "Tower of David" is only accurate in the historical sense, as King David''s original tower and fortifications were destroyed to the foundation several hundred years before this tower was reconstructed on them and rebuilt continuously.
