Solomon's Temple Complex

This is a picture I took of the location where Solomon's Temple was built. It is now a junk yard in the City of David.

This hill was walled all round, and in compass four furlongs, [the distance of] each angle containing in length a furlong: Josephus Antiquities Book 15, Chapter 11.

...but the fourth front of the temple, which was southward, had indeed itself gates in its middle, as also it had the royal cloisters, with three walks, which reached in length from the east valley unto that on the west, for it was impossible it should reach any farther: Josephus Antiquities Book 15, Chapter 11.
