Cardo Arcade Galleries & Shops, Jerusalem

The Cardo is the reconstructed main street of Byzantine Jerusalem from the 6th century. This street, with columns along its entire length, was a long avenue that crossed the whole city from north to south. Today, situated 6 metres below modern street level in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, one part of the Cardo is a restored arcade of Jewish galleries and shops, while the other part is an open-air reconstructed street.
