The Old City of Jerusalem seen over the city wall

In the foreground lies the flat roof of a new white building with a round, drum-like tower; beyond a road and a strip of trees runs the crenellated city wall, and behind it the roofs, domes and minarets of the Old City climb toward the horizon, a large dome at the far left. The source lists the courtyard of the Rockefeller Museum and the walls near the Damascus Gate; the Palestine Archaeological Museum, built with a Rockefeller gift outside the northeastern corner of the wall, opened in January 1938.
