Today, the area which consists of the Citadel and the Tower of David is a museum. The Knights Templar excavated this temple hoping to find the lost Ark. Within the subterranean hiding places were preserved some of the most sacred and meaningful secrets relating to Ancient Craft Masonry. Rituals were created to pass on their information and Freemasons around the world hold these crusading warriors in high esteem.
It is here that most of the history of Freemasonry originates. Every mason is initiated into the ancient wisdom of King Solomon and his master builder, Hiram, King of Tyre.
