For Jews the term "Zion" became a synecdoche referring to the entire city of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.Later the name became associated with a hill just outside the walls of the Old City, at the southern end of that elevation. The identification dates from the Middle Ages.Between 1948 and 1967, when the Old City was under Jordanian rule, Jews were forbidden access to the Jewish holy places. Mount Zion was a designated no-man's land between Israel and Jordan. Mount Zion was the closest accessible site to the ancient Jewish Temple. Until the reunification of the city in the Six-Day War, Jews were forced to climb to the rooftop of David's Tomb to pray. The winding road leading up to Mount Zion is known as Pope's Way (Derekh Ha'apifyor). It was paved in honor of the historic visit to Jerusalem of Pope Paul VI in 1964.
