Formerly at the Holyland hotel, this model provides an accurate view of what Jerusalem looked like 2000 years ago.
Constructed between 1964-1967, the Holyland Second Temple Model offers a glimpse at Jerusalem before its destruction by the Romans in 66 AD. This modern Jerusalem cultural landmark, built to a 1:50 scale, depicts the Second Temple and the surrounding Jerusalem cityscape of the period. The model was built by the late proprietor of the Holyland Hotel, Mr. Hans Kroch, with the guidance of the late Prof. Michael Avi Yonah of the Hebrew University. In the course of time, the Model has both been renovated and brought up to date archeologically.
