[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
King David's Tomb is believed to be situated on Mount Zion near the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel.

King David's TombAccording to the Hebrew Bible, David is supposed to be buried inside the City of David together with other Judean kings, but ancient tradition holds that he is buried in the structure adjacent to the Dormition Church in the misnamed by Christians Mount Zion - Recent archeological studies showed the original fortress conquered by David to not be on the modern so-called Mount Zion but elsewhere on Jerusalem. The Tomb has David's name on it, covered on beautiful clothes with crown-shaped ornaments placed on top of Torah scrolls.
