At the end of Salah al-Din Street in Jerusalem, just north of the Old City, a sign reads in French “Tombeau des Rois” or the “Tombs of the Kings.”
The funerary complex is known to Jerusalemites as the “Tombs of the Sultans.” Pausanias, a Greek author, historian and geographer of the 2nd century AD, described it as the second most beautiful tomb in the world, after the Tomb of Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
