This pool, reached through Jaffa Gate, has been in existence since the period of the Second Temple, when it was called the Pool of the Towers. The Pool of Hezekiah is now surrounded by dwellings and almost inaccessible. It is dry abandoned and neglected. It is therefore proposed to restore the pool and once again fill it with water, build a promenade around it, provide an adequate access to it and to develop a new commercial front in the existing buildings along the promenade.
