Enter this partial reconstruction of the "High Street" of late Roman Jerusalem near the Hurva Synagogue in the Jewish Quarter. A number of columns have been restored, as well as buildings suggesting the form of Roman era shops. A large mosaic reproduction of the famous Madaba map shows how central this column-lined street was in its heyday. Today, this is again a street for shoppers. You will find souvenirs, ceramics, jewellery, and Judaica, among other things. The Cardo leads into the main souk (market) of the Old City.
