This tomb is  located west of the Old City, and just east (below) the King David Hotel. One of the best preserved rolling stone tombs in the country (and there are very few of them).   View looking south.

According to Josephus, Herod himself was buried at the Herodium located 7.5 miles south of Jerusalem. For additional external features of the tomb - click here. Bibliography: Josephus War 1:581, 228; 5:108.
