David's Tomb

Local nameקבר דוד המלך
LocationMount Zion, Jerusalem, Israel

David's Tomb is a site believed by some to be the burial place of biblical king David of Israel, according to a Late Medieval tradition beginning in the 9th CE, some two millennia after the time of David. Historians, archaeologists and Jewish religious authorities do not consider the site to be the actual resting place of King David. It occupies the ground floor of the Cenacle, the "Upper Room" traditionally identified as the place of Jesus' Last Supper and the original meeting place of the early Christian community.

The compound is located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, near the Christian Abbey of the Dormition. The compound is thought to be situated in what once was a ground floor corner of the Byzantine church of Hagia Zion. The building is now administered by the Diaspora Yeshiva, a Jewish seminary group.
