King´s garden

Due to this abundance of water, the area was one of the most fertile in Jerusalem. Today, as then, luxuriant orchards produce figs, pomegranates and other fruit, and between the trees field crops are cultivated. The kings of Judah may have owned estates in this fertile region, explaining the name of the place.
