The swimming pool of Siloe (or Siloam) is an archaeological site located in the lower part of the southern flank of Mount Ophel, which now lies to the southeast and outside the city walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. The pool was fed by the waters of the spring of Gihon, which were carried by two aqueducts: a 6-meter-deep carving dug directly into the rock and covered with stone slabs, and dating back to the Middle Bronze Age, approx. The tunnel of Hezekias: a 533-metre tunnel also dug into the rock. The pool is the same one in which Jesus performed the second miracle, the Healing of the born blind man, Gospel according to John (9.1-41).
