Cardo
Jerusalem, Israel
The Cardo is an ancient Roman road that runs through the heart of Jerusalem's Old City, constructed in the 2nd century CE as a central thoroughfare of trade and commerce. Visitors will find remnants of its stone columns and intricate mosaics, with sections stretching alongside the modern-day Jewish Quarter and the recently restored Byzantine marketplace.
Exploring the Cardo offers a glimpse into the city's layered history and the blend of ancient and contemporary life. It’s best visited in the cooler morning hours to avoid the crowds, and the nearby Western Wall and the bustling alleys of the Old City make for compelling adjacent stops. Look for the faint outlines of the past beneath your feet.
