According to one version, during the Roman occupation, the residence of the procurator was located in the Antonia Fortress, which adjoined the northwestern corner of the Temple Mount. This fortress was a quadrangular building with 4 high towers. Nothing has survived from the fortress at all, with the exception of these dungeons. The entrance here is from Via Delorosa 3rd station (entrance from the chapel 'Savior in Chains').
