הרחוב הרומי (הקרדו) בלב הרובע היהודי בעיר העתיקה בירושלים, ישראל 2024
The Cardo was a central north-south oriented thoroughfare in Jerusalem during the Late Roman and Byzantine periods. Together with the east-west oriented Decumanus, it reflects typical Roman city planning.[1] The term "Cardo" derives from the Latin word for "hinge," referring to role as the main north–south axis in Roman cities.[2]
The Cardo originated during the Late Roman period, beginning at the Damascus Gate it split into two main branches, the eastern Cardo following the route of the modern day "HaGai" street and the western Cardo which ascended towards Mount Zion and the modern day Jewish Quarter. Both branches run from the north and extend southwards.[3] This initial construction phase occurred when Jerusalem was known as Aelia Capitolina, following the Roman reconstruction of the city after its destruction in 70 CE. The Cardo was extended during the Byzantine period, particularly in the 6th century under Emperor Justinian.[1] This extension reached the southern parts of the city, including the modern-day Jewish Quarter. The Byzantine Cardo was characterized by its colonnaded design, with a central open-air passage flanked by sidewalks and shops. The 6th-century Madaba Map includes the Cardo in its detailed depiction of Jerusalem.[4]
Significant archaeological discoveries related to the Cardo were made during excavations led by Nahman Avigad in the 1970s. Today, the Cardo is a main tourist area in the Jewish Quarter. Its restoration aimed to preserve the ancient street's historical integrity while incorporating contemporary materials. A portion of the Cardo has been rebuilt as a covered shopping arcade, reflecting the style of an ancient Roman street.[1][2]
