The story of the City of David began over 3,000 years ago, when King David left the city of Hebron for a small hilltop city known as Jerusalem, establishing it as the unified capital of the tribes of Israel.
Years later, David`s son, King Solomon, built the First Temple next to the City of David on top of Mount Moriah, the site of the binding of Isaac, and with it, this hilltop became one of the most important sites in the world.
Today, the story of the City of David continues. Deep underground, the City of David is revealing some of the most exciting archaeological finds of the ancient world. While above ground, the city is a vibrant center of activity with a visitor`s center that welcomes visitors for an exciting tour to the site where much of the Bible was written.
The City of David Store provides visitors with an opportunity to take home a piece of Jerusalem. Offering one of a kind gifts from the City of David and replicas of artifacts found at the site, the City of David Store also carries the artwork of some of the most talented artists that Israel has to offer, including unique commissions designed specifically for our store. The store also carries the publications of the Megalim Institute, featuring the latest archaeological information available about Jerusalem from leading archaeologists and scholars from around the world.
While there is no better place than the City of David to learn about the history of Jerusalem and come face to face with personalities and places of the Bible, the City of David Store now offers you the opportunity to ensure that you will never forget your experience at the City of David. Now you can bring some of Jerusalem home.
