Burnt House

The Burnt House Museum showcases the remains of a home believed to have belonged to a priestly family, destroyed during the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Excavated in the 1970s and opened to the public in 1991, the site features artifacts discovered within the ruins and a multimedia presentation detailing the events of the time. The house is located beneath the modern street level in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City, providing a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in history. Visitors can explore the preserved remains and gain a deeper understanding of daily life during the Second Temple period.
