The Castle of Jerusalem

It is an old castle that is located in the Western Wall of the Old Town. It is also called Dawood Castle, though Prophet David (Dawood) had nothing to do with it. The Muslim Arabs designated it to be the center of the city’s guards. After the occupation, I became a military barrack for the Jewish army. Later on, it was turned into a museum called “the Museum of Dawood Castle”.
