Cave of the Ramban

The Cave of the Ramban is located in the southern cliff of the Upper Kidron Valley, on a slope descending into the Arab neighborhood of Wadi al-Joz, Jerusalem.

[1] It is believed by some to be the traditional burial place of Nahmanides (also known as Ramban), a foremost rabbinical scholar during the medieval era.

The large rock-hewn cave, measuring 19 by 20 m, reaches a height of 3.5 meters and is supported by two columns.

Above the façade, in the upper portion of the cliff, are the remains of a square rock-cut chamber which may have been used for burials.

[6] The Muslim wakf subsequently petitioned the High Court of Justice which resulted in a temporary injunction freezing the site's designation.
