What is Zedekiah Cave?Zedekiah's Cave, also known as Solomon's Quarries, is a 5-acre underground limestone quarry under the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem that runs the length of five city blocks. It is named after King Zedekiah (Tzidkiyahu; a Judean king of the 6th century BC). It was carved over a period of several thousand years and is a remnant of the largest quarry in Jerusalem. In addition to Zedekiah's Cave and Solomon's Quarries, it has been called Zedekiah's Grotto, Suleiman's Cave, the Royal Caverns (or Royal Caves or Royal Quarries), and Korah's Cave.
The entrance to Zedekiah's Cave is just beneath the Old City wall, between the Damascus and Herod Gates.
