    The Tower of David Museum of the History of Jerusalem is located in the medieval citadel known as the Tower of David, near the Jaffa Gate, the historic entrance to the Old City. The walls of the Citadel serve as a stage for a nightime show which is a celebration of sound and light. Amidst the archaeological remains in the Citadel's courtyard and to the sound of original music, the story of Jerusalem unfolds through giant breathtaking, virtual reality images.

    Night Spectacular uses trompe l'oeil technology - the stones of the walls and structures fade into the scenes and the screened images envelop the viewers and whisk them off to a one-of-a-kind multi-sensory experience.

    The Tower of David Museum details the major events the history of Jerusalem beginning with the first evidence of a city in the second millennium BCE, until the city became the capital of the State of Israel, as well as its significance to three religions. The Citadel itself is a fascinating archaeological site. The finds uncovered within are a testimony to Jerusalem’s eventful past and produce a representation of Jerusalem and its various historical periods in microcosm.
