The Walls of Solomon
A section of an ancient city wall of Jerusalem possibly built by King Solomon in the 10th century BCE has been revealed in archaeological excavations directed by archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar. The city wall is at the eastern end of the Ophel area in a high, strategic location atop the western slope of the Kidron Valley.
1 Kings 9:15
And this is the account of the levy which King Solomon raised; to build the house of the L-RD, and his own house, and the Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
