Zedekiah's Cave

Zedekiah's Cave, also Tzidkiyahu's Cave or Solomon's Quarries, is a underground meleke limestone quarry that runs the length of five city blocks under the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It was carved over a period of several thousand years and is a remnant of the largest quarry in Jerusalem, stretching from Jeremiah's Grotto and the Garden Tomb to the walls of the Old City.〔Friedman, Thomas L., (“Quarrying History in Jerusalem, ''The New York Times'' ), 1 December 1985〕 The cave has great importance to Freemasons.
The 'cave' is open to the public Sunday through Thursday for a small admission fee and there are guided tours.
==Names==
In addition to Zedekiah's Cave and Solomon's Quarries, this site has been called Zedekiah's Grotto, Suleiman's Cave, the Royal Caverns (or Royal Caves or Royal Quarries), and Korah's Cave. The Arabic name ''Migharat al-Kitan'', or "Cotton Cave", has also been used; the cavern is thought to have been once used as a storage place for cotton.〔Har-El, Menashe (2004), ''Golden Jerusalem'', Jerusalem: Gefen Publishing House
