Ma'ale HaShalom

Ma'ale ha-Shalom (Ibrani: מעלה השלום, diterjemahkan menjadi Pendakian Damai), juga dikenal sebagai Jalan Paus (Ibrani: כביש האַפִּיפְיוֹר, Kevish ha-Apifior), adalah sebuah jalan di Yerusalem, Palestina.

Ma'ale HaShalom menghubungkan Rute 60 ke Ma'alot Ir David menjadi Derech ha-Ofel. Jalan ini membentang di sepanjang selatan tembok Kota Lama dan memiliki Gerbang Dung yang menjadi pintu masuk menuju ke Bagian Yahudi. Jalan ini juga melewati Pemakaman Bukit Sion Protestan dan Kuburan Katolik serta paralel dengan Bukit Bait.^{[map 1]} Meskipun di luar tembok kota lama hari ini, jalan itu dianggap berada di dalam kota Yerusalem yang disucikan.

Sebelum 1964, jalan menuju Gunung Sion adalah jalan tanah yang sempit. Tahun itu, Paus Paulus VI berencana untuk mengunjungi Yerusalem dan untuk menghormatinya, orang-orang Yordania mengizinkan pelebaran dan peletakan jalan yang tepat untuk memungkinkan Paus dibawa ke Coenaculum.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Sebelum Perang Enam Hari, jalan ini dikenal sebagai Ain el-Loza.^[5]^{[sumber tepercaya?]}

The Pope had expressed a wish to pray at the Coenaculum; an improved road would make his journey more comfortable. The Jordanians did not object and the road was laid to within about 60 meters of the Coenaculum.
