Alley in Jerusalem
The picture of present-day Old City of Jerusalem in some ways is also typical for the conditions in biblical times. Even though there were neither two-story houses, nor apses or arches, the city was characterized by similar small alleys. Tradesman and craftsmen had their stores alongside these alleys, so that it was possible to shop there. Doorways led from the alleys into each of the residential buildings.
