The Citadel of David 

The Citadel or Tower of David was never really occupied by David, King of Yisrael.  It was so-named during the Byzantine period because of its location in Jerusalem, Israel, the city of David.  Entering the Citadel, to the left lies this moat:

The First Temple in Light - this holograph is pretty cool - but you cannot see it in this photo.  You can only vaguely see the colors around the light in the middle.

The Citadel is part of the wall of the Old City:

Jerusalem about 100 years ago.

That's about it.
