Solomon’s Portico, Solomon's Colonnade

Solomon’s Portico was a covered walkway along the eastern side of the temple area in Jerusalem. It was supported by rows of columns and provided a place where people could gather and teach. Jesus walked there, and the apostles later met there with other believers (called “Solomon's Colonnade” in John 10:23; Acts 3:11; 5:12).
