A Biblical exploration of the Tyropoeon Valley.
Tyropoeon Valley Archaeology and Urban Geography
The Tyropoeon Valley ran north to south through the heart of ancient Jerusalem, dividing the city into eastern and western hills. Archaeological excavations reveal stepped streets, drainage channels, and residential structures from the Second Temple period. The valley formed a major urban corridor used by residents and pilgrims moving between the City of David, the Upper City, and the Temple Mount. Its geography helps explain the movement of Jesus and the crowds during festivals and His final week.

Jesus walked through the busy streets where ordinary people lived and worked.
A Place of Connection
The valley linked major districts, symbolizing the reach of Jesus’ ministry.
Walking With the Savior
