Ammunition Hill Heritage Site — Attraction in Jerusalem

A must for all who are interested in history and the wars of the state of Israel. Has many trenches, ingeniously designed by the British, probably, while they had a school for policemen near it, in the British mandate era.

There is also a memorial for those who fell here during the battle. There are restrooms at this site.
