1. The Upper Room is in a second-story building in Jerusalem that commemorates where Jesus shared the Passover (Last Supper) with His disciples.
2. It is located directly above the Tomb of David and near the Dormition Abbey on Mount Zion.
3. It is also called the Cenacle Room, which means “dining room” in Latin.
4. On the first floor of the building is King David’s Tomb. It functions as a synagogue, so a head covering for men must be worn. It is divided into three sections: (1) a small synagogue room (2) a men’s viewing area of David’s tomb, and (3) a women’s viewing area of the tomb.
5. The location of David's Tomb is just a memorial place as Scripture says David was buried in the City of David (1 Kings 2:10).

1. This building became a synagogue church in the first century by early Christians. There is archaeological evidence of four layers of construction in this building today.
• Present Floor
• Crusader Floor (1219 AD)
•Byzantine Floor (415 AD)
•Roman Floor (70-132 AD) Has Judeo-Christian Graffiti. A Torah Ark niche also exists with large stones from the 1st century AD.
2. Whenever you have one thing built on top of another thing, it provides strong evidence that this was the authentic place of the Upper Room.
3. Strong archaeological evidence shows that the Upper Room is also the location of the first Christian church. After Christ rose from the dead, this place was venerated and converted into a Jewish-Christian synagogue. Evidence of this can be found in the massive stones in the Torah Ark Niche of the church on the first floor.
4. It was built by the first-century Jewish-Christian community of Jerusalem. Interestingly, different than all other Jewish synagogues, the Torah Ark Niche points toward Golgotha (Church of the Holy Sepulchre) and not toward the temple.
5. This site of the Upper Room has been the traditional place of the Last Supper since the time of Jesus.
