Ma'ale HaShalom

Ma'ale ha-Shalom (Hebrew: מעלה השלום, translates to Ascent of Peace), also known as the Pope's Road (Hebrew: כביש האַפִּיפְיוֹר, Kevish ha-Apifior), is a street in East Jerusalem.

Ma'ale HaShalom connects Route 60 to Ma'alot Ir David where it becomes Derech ha-Ofel.

It goes along the southern border of the Old City, and has the Dung Gate where the entrance to the Jewish Quarter is found.

[map 1] Though outside the walls of today's old city, the road is considered to be inside of historic sanctified Jerusalem.

That year, Pope Paul VI planned to visit Jerusalem and in his honour, the Jordanians allowed for the widening and laying of a proper road to enable the Pope to be driven to the Coenaculum.
