The complex was hidden for centuries under a 1,400-year-old Byzantine/Umayyad structure’s white mosaic floor.

The underground system is located specifically in the “Beit Straus” complex, purchased by the German-born Jewish philanthropist Nathan Straus, that now serves as the entrance lobby to the Western Wall Tunnels.

The discovery comes just in time for Jerusalem Day, an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem under Israeli control in the aftermath of the Six-Day War.
