The term Pool of Siloam (Arabic: بِرْكَة سِلْوَان Birka Silwān, Hebrew: בְּרֵכַת הַשִּׁילוֹחַ, Bərēḵat haŠīlōaḥ) refers to a number of rock-cut pools on the southern slope of the Wadi Hilweh, located outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem to the southeast. The pools were fed by the waters of the Gihon Spring, carried there by the Siloam Tunnel.[1][2]
The Lower Pool or "Old Pool" was historically known as Birket el Hamra, literally "the red pool".
