In recent archaeological excavations on the outskirts of the Givat Hamatos neighborhood in Jerusalem, a significant historical discovery has come to light – the longest continuous segment of the ancient upper aqueduct of Jerusalem. Through these excavations, an approximately 300-meter stretch of the aqueduct has been revealed, once responsible for conveying water to the upper city of Jerusalem. This aqueduct, constructed around 2,000 years ago, served not only the general populace but also facilitated the water needs of prominent structures like Herod's palace and the residences of the city's affluent citizens.
