The Herodian Quarter is the largest and most important of Second Temple era sites
in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. The six houses in this compound
are remnants of the neighborhood in which Temple priests and other affluent families
resided during the Second Temple period, and are located on the slope facing the
Temple Mount. The large and magnificent houses are adorned with extraordinary, high
precision mosaics.
The museum exhibit focuses on three houses: The Western House, the Middle Complex
and the Palatial Mansion. The residential areas were designed in the Hellenistic/Roman
style that was popular at the time. Magnificence, splendor and great wealth are
interleaved with strict observance of purity and sanctity.
