The City of David (Hebrew: (Hebrew: עיר דוד‎‎, Ir David; literal translation to Arabic: مدينة داوود‎‎, Madina Dawud, common Arabic name: Wadi Hilweh, وادي حلوه) is the archaeological site of ancient Jerusalem of the pre-Babylonian exile era. It is located underneath the neighborhood of Wadi Hilweh, and extends down from the southern city walls of Jerusalem's Old City. The remains at the site include several water tunnels, one of which was built by King Hezekiah and still carries water, several pools including the Pool of Siloam known from the Old and New Testaments, and here or at the adjacent Ophel scholars expect to find, or claim to have found, the remains of the Acra, a fortress built by Antiochus Epiphanes to subdue those Jerusalemites who were opposed to Hellenisation.
