Flush toilets in old Jerusalem?

It’s not Jerusalem, but ancient Italian cities all have modern plumbing.

My sister-in-law owns an apartment in the Old City of Jerusalem. No air-conditioning (thick walls) but there is plumbing. She doesn’t have a car while she is there but I believe there would probably be some street parking in places or centralized car parks (as in old towns in France or England) where you could pay to park ongterm.

I have been to Jerusalem. They have all of the things that you listed above.

It’s pretty much the same as anywhere else. Some buildings have central heating, like in North America, which is nice. That doesn’t exist anywhere else in Israel. I remember being in an apartment in wintertime and thinking how nice that the floors were warm.

Another cool thing in Jerusalem: a lot of the showers are heated by solar power generators.

@answerjill Very few homes in Israel do not have solar power heaters. May as well use that sunshine.

Interesting. I have been really curious about this. Old cities often look so densely terraced in photos that there would be no room for any improvements to be inserted, like people would even have to walk on other’s property to come and go—sort of like ancient adobe cliff dwellings with skinny ladders and stuff. How old is the old Jerusalem that is lived in?

How much of the stuff from 0 CE exists and is livable? It seems I see pictures of these places with their little windows and doors and terraces, but maybe those are empty.

I am talking pre-mediaeval.
