[2] Among the exhibits are five residential buildings dating back to the Herodian period, believed to have been inhabited by priestly families,[3] complete with ritual baths, bathhouses, and household items.

This grand residence includes an ornate reception area decorated in a style found in Pompeii, also featuring remnants of collapsed wooden beams, evidence of the city's destruction.

In instances where significant artifacts, like the menorah graffiti and a unique glass vessel by the Sidonian artist Aniyon, were relocated to the Israel Museum, replicas and photographs are showcased.

[6] The "Palatial Mansion", situated on the eastern slope of the Upper City near the Temple Mount's southwest corner,[7] was an expansive structure, covering an area of 600 square meters.

[4] The entrance to the reception hall displays charred wooden beams of the roof, which collapsed onto the mosaic floor, destroyed in fierce fire at the time of destruction.

[4] The courtyard led to the rooms of the eastern wing, including a preserved bathroom with a simple mosaic floor,[7] also devoid of figures,[4] likely preceding access to two hidden mikvehs (ritual baths).

A staircase in the courtyard's northern side descended to the basement level, featuring a vestibule granting access to a large vaulted storeroom and two additional mikvehs.

Visitors can experience a simulated walk towards the Temple Mount from the perspective of historical residents, with suspended glass walkways providing close access to the ancient homes without compromising the archaeological remains.
