Description: Two tombs believed to be those of the architects of the Old City walls. According to legend, Suleiman the Magnificent had them killed because they failed to include Mount Zion and the Tomb of King David within the Old City walls; as a mark of respect for their achievement, however, Suleiman had them buried within the walls, just inside Jaffa Gate
