We toured around the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem

The Jewish Quarter has a lot of quieter residential areas. Walking along the narrow alleyways of the Cardo, a great shopping district in the Jewish Quarter Four Sephardi Synagogues.  At the time it was built, the law said that no building may be larger than the neighbouring buildings, so they sunk it into the ground to make it larger.
