Mamilla Pool (also known as Birket Mamilla) is one of several ancient reservoirs that supplied water to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is located outside the walls of the Old City about 650 metres (710 yd) northwest of Jaffa Gate in the centre of the Mamilla Cemetery. With a capacity of 30,000 cubic metres, it is connected by an underground channel to Hezekiah's Pool in the Christian Quarter of the Old City. It was thought as possible that it has received water via the so-called Upper or High-Level Aqueduct from Solomon's Pools, but 2010 excavations have discovered the aqueduct's final segment at a much lower elevation near the Jaffa Gate, making it impossible to function as a feeding source for the Mamilla Pool.
Mamilla Cemetery, sometimes called Ma'aman Allah Cemetery (Arabic: مقبرة مأمن الله), is a historic Muslim cemetery in West Jerusalem that dates back to the Crusades, and lies just to the west of the north-west corner of the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, near the New Gate. The cemetery, at the center of which lies the Mamilla Pool, contains the remains of figures from the early Islamic period, several Sufi shrines and Mamluk-era tombs. The cemetery grounds also contain the bodies of thousands of Christians killed in the pre-Islamic era, as well as several tombs from the time of the Crusades.
Nahalat Shiv’a - Jerusalem
Nahalat Shiv’a was the third Jewish neighborhood created outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. It was founded in 1869 and named after seven founders. The neighborhood is characterized by its small houses built around inner courtyards with water cisterns at the center.
Over the course of time, there was incresing pressure on the Municipality of Jerusalem to demolish the neighborhood and build skyscrapers and roads in its place. All the proposals were rejected.
In 1988, the neighborhood was renovated by the Municipality, the infrastruture renewed, the streets repaired and the facades of the houses were restored.
Tmol Shilshom has been, since its inception in 1994, a cultural institution, hosting top writers and poets. Past guests include Yehuda Amichai and Amos Oz R.I.P, David Grossman, Orly Castel-Bloom, Batya Gur, Zeruya Shalev, Meir Shalev, and many more. Young writers,
musicians, and artists of all types have also taken part in past events. Tmol Shilshom stands in a pedestrian street at the Nahalat Shiv’a quarter, one of the first neighborhoods built outside the old city walls. The buildings were built with original Jerusalem stone, with plenty of archways and nooks.
