On mount Zion is one of the most impressive sites in Jerusalem - the Last Supper Room also called Cenaculum
Known also as the Cenaculum, according to Christian tradition, Jesus sat in this specific hall on the last Passover night before captured at Gethsemane and trialed to death by crucifixion.
During that meal Jesus stated the wine and bread his disciples are consuming symbolize his flesh and blood.
To this day the Sunday Mass contains a symbolic consumption of Jesus' flesh and blood. The Cenaculum is visited by crowds of excited Christian pilgrims on daily basis and was part of the itinerary of three Popes who visited the holy land in the years 1964, 2000, and 2009.
The room itself is really a Crusader structure dating to the 12th-13th Century, but by tradition, its origins are from Roman times. The structure also bears a Muslim prayer niche facing Mecca attesting that this room used to be also a mosque in the past.
Below the Last Supper Room is a compound consecrating the tomb of King David by Jewish tradition. This means that the whole building is uniquely sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, "glide" over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water, and "see" the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many-faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be implanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
Tomb of King David
One of the holiest sites for Jews is the building on Mount Zion known as
the Tomb of King David — the celebrated Old Testament warrior king of Israel who is traditionally credited with composing many of the Psalms.
The Old Testament clearly indicates that David was buried somewhere else. However, the site — directly underneath the Cenacle, where Christians commemorate the Last Supper — remains a place of pilgrimage for Jews, Muslims and Christians.
David’s death at the end of his 40-year reign is recorded in 1 Kings 2:10: “Then David slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David.”
