Constructed between 1964-1967, the Holyland Second Temple Model offers a glimpse at Jerusalem before its destruction by the Romans in 66 AD. This modern Jerusalem cultural landmark, built to a 1:50 scale, depicts the Second Temple and the surrounding Jerusalem cityscape of the period. The model was built by the late proprietor of the Holyland Hotel, Mr. Hans Kroch, with the guidance of the late Prof. Michael Avi Yonah of the Hebrew University. In the course of time, the Model has both been renovated and brought up to date archeologically.

• The Shrine of the Book - Currently open to the public, the Shrine has undergone a complete architectural restoration and installation redesign, to provide for the optimal preservation and display of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other treasures, including the 10th-century CE Aleppo Codex, the oldest and most complete extant Hebrew Biblical codex until the discovery of the Scrolls.
  
  
• The Jerusalem Second Temple Model - Previously located in the grounds of the Holyland hotel, this modern Jerusalem cultural landmark of 2000 square meters, built to a 1:50 scale, depicts the Second Temple and the surrounding Jerusalem cityscape of the 1st century CE. The addition of this new tool to the Shrine complex will enable a more comprehensive understanding of the historical context of the Second Temple period and the story of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jesus, and early Christianity.
  
  
• Information Center and Auditorium - A new auditorium and a comprehensive information center will provide essential background to the visit in the Shrine and the Second Temple model. A 15 minutes film will deal with aspects of identity in Second Temple Judaism through the eyes of a young Jerusalem priest and a teenager from Kumran. The Auditorium will also serve as a facility in which conferences, concerts, and lectures will be held, and will also be available for private use, according to the specific needs and requests of visiting groups.
