In the game

The game stages Majd Addin's public executions here in an open space closer to the modern plaza than to the lane of 1191.

The place today

Standing; open-air prayer plaza (created 1967 when the Mughrabi Quarter was cleared).

What to look out for

  • The huge Herodian courses at the base
  • the small stones of later periods above them
