Tower of David (northeast tower) (original) (raw)
La Torre Fasael es una de las tres torres que existieron en la esquina noroeste de las murallas de la Ciudad Alta de la antigua Jerusalén. Estaban situadas cerca de donde la puerta de Jaffa está hoy y fueron construidas por Herodes el Grande, al mismo tiempo que construyó el palacio real inmediatamente adyacente. Estas torres protegían la entrada principal a la ciudad. Todas han desaparecido, excepto la base de la Torre Hípico, sobre la cual descansa la presente "Torre de David".

| dbo:abstract | La Torre Fasael es una de las tres torres que existieron en la esquina noroeste de las murallas de la Ciudad Alta de la antigua Jerusalén. Estaban situadas cerca de donde la puerta de Jaffa está hoy y fueron construidas por Herodes el Grande, al mismo tiempo que construyó el palacio real inmediatamente adyacente. Estas torres protegían la entrada principal a la ciudad. Todas han desaparecido, excepto la base de la Torre Hípico, sobre la cual descansa la presente "Torre de David". Fasael fue un hermano de Herodes el Grande, asesinado y en honor a él fue construida, tenía unos 40 codos de ancho y 40 de alto decoradas con unas columnas laterales, con una gran estancia en medio. Flavio Josefo menciona que su forma es casi igual a la del Faro de Alejandría, pero la torre de Fasael era mucho más grande. Tenía una función defensiva y decorativa a la vez; debajo de las tres torres había unas grandes cisternas de agua para el abastecimiento en saco de asedio al palacio. (es) The Tower of David is the northeast tower of the Citadel of Jerusalem. It has been identified as either the Phasael Tower or the Hippicus Tower described by Josephus. The towers named Phasael, Hippicus and Mariamne were situated in the northwest corner of the so-called First Wall, the Hasmonean and Herodian city wall protecting the Western Hill of Jerusalem. They were situated close to where the Jaffa Gate is today and were built by Herod the Great at the same time he built his immediately adjacent royal palace. These towers protected the main entrance to the city, as well as the palace, constituting a potential last refuge for the king. All three towers have vanished except for the base of the Hippicus (or Phasael) Tower, upon which the present "Tower of David" rests. The towers were named by Herod after his brother Phasael, his friend and general Hippicus who had fallen in battle, and his favourite wife, Mariamne. When the city was razed in 70 AD, all three towers were left standing, in order to show off the strength of the fortifications the Roman army had to overcome. With time though, only one of Herod's towers survived - either Phasael, or according to some, including archaeologist Hillel Geva who excavated the Citadel, Hippicus. However, during the Byzantine period, the remaining tower, and by extension the Citadel as a whole, acquired its alternative name - the Tower of David - after the Byzantines, mistakenly identifying the hill as Mount Zion, presumed it to be David's palace mentioned in 2 Samuel 5:11, 11:1-27, 16:22. The Citadel was gradually built up under Muslim and Crusader rule and acquired the basis of its present shape in 1310, under the Mamluk sultan Malik al-Nasir. Suleiman the Magnificent later constructed the monumental gateway in the east that you enter through today. The minaret, a prominent Jerusalem landmark, was added between 1635 and 1655, and took over the title of "Tower of David" in the nineteenth century, so that the name can now refer to either the whole Citadel or the minaret alone. On the site itself, from the top of the Hippicus (or Phasael) Tower, there are good views over the excavations inside the Citadel and out to the Old City, as well as into the distance south and west. Of the original tower itself, some sixteen courses of the original stone ashlars can still be seen rising from ground level, upon which were added smaller stones in a later period, which added significantly to its height. On the way up, a terrace overlooking the diggings has plaques identifying the different periods of all the remains. These include part of the Hasmonean city wall, a Roman cistern, and the ramparts of the Umayyad citadel, which held out for five weeks before falling to the Crusaders in 1099. ...Caesar gave orders that they should now demolish the entire city and temple, but should leave as many of the towers standing as were of the greatest eminence; that is, Phasael, and Hippicus, and Mariamme, and so much of the wall as enclosed the city on the west side. This wall was spared, in order to afford a camp for such as were to lie in garrison; as were the towers also spared, in order to demonstrate to posterity what kind of city it was, and how well fortified, which the Roman valour had subdued. (en) De toren Phasaël maakte samen met de torens Hippicus en Mariamne deel uit van de verdedigingswerken die Herodes de Grote in Jeruzalem liet bouwen. De torens waren dicht bij elkaar gelegen bij de belangrijkste toegangspoort tot de stad, bij de tegenwoordige Jaffa poort. De toren Phasaël was genoemd naar Herodes' broer Phasaël, die bij de staatsgreep van Antigonus gevangen was genomen en zelfmoord pleegde (later noemde Herodes ook nog de stad Phasaëlis naar zijn broer). De toren Mariamne was genoemd naar Herodes' Hasmonese vrouw Mariamne, die hij zelf had laten ombrengen maar om wie hij de rest van zijn leven rouwde. De toren Hippicus was genoemd naar een vriend van Herodes. De torens stonden in verbinding met het Paleis van Herodes. Bij de verovering van Jeruzalem door de Romeinen in 70 na Chr., bleef alleen de toren Phasaël gespaard. Legionairs van het Legio X Fretensis restaureerden de toren na de oorlog. De torens Mariamne en Hippicus werden in de oorlog verwoest. In de loop van de Middeleeuwen werd de toren omgedoopt tot Davidstoren. In de loop van de geschiedenis is de toren verschillende keren gerestaureerd en verder uitgebouwd, maar het onderste deel van de toren zoals die tegenwoordig in Jeruzalem te zien is, is nog steeds de door Herodes gebouwde toren.
