Jerusalem 1535: Suleiman the Magnificent Rebuilds the Walls

8 min•20 juni 2026

In 1535, Suleiman the Magnificent ordered the reconstruction of Jerusalem's city walls. This episode explores the sultan's vision, the architectural legacy of the walls and gates we see today, and the pivotal role of his wife Roxelana in Jerusalem's public works. We also look at the legend of the two architects who were reportedly executed for failing to include Mount Zion. A story of empire, faith, and urban renewal that shaped Jerusalem for centuries.
