King David's Tomb

According to the Hebrew Bible, David is supposed to be buried inside the City of David together with other Judean kings, but ancient tradition holds that he is buried in the structure adjacent to the Dormition Church. The tomb has David's name on it, covered on beautiful clothes with crown-shaped ornaments placed on top of Torah scrolls.
