Jerusalem - Mount Herzl and the Herzl Museum

Ruppin Road in Jerusalem runs into Herzl Boulevard (Sderot Herzl), which leads to a military cemetery with the remains of Israeli soldiers killed since 1948 and to Mount Herzl, which commemorates the founder of Zionism. The remains of Theodor Herzl, who died in Austria in 1904, were brought to Israel in 1949, a year after the foundation of the independent Jewish state for which he had called, and buried in a free-standing sarcophagus on Mount Herzl.

Here too, near the main entrance, is a reconstruction of Herzl's study and library. The large park also contains the graves of Herzl's parents and several leading Zionists. On the road to the military cemetery are the graves of two prime ministers of Israel, Levi Eshkol and Golda Meir.
In the park on Mt. Herzl is the Herzl museum, with personal belongings and his study room with original furniture.
