  JewishEncyclopedia.com - JERUSALEM
Jerusalem was the chief seat of one of the districts, in consequence of which it may at one time have changed its name ("the king has placed his name upon Jerusalem," Letter 180, 60).
It was walled in to the height of 30 cubits; it had towers, many porticos in which were pillars, and large chambers; and outside were groves of trees, a deep canal, cisterns, and brazen statues, all of which excite the admiration of Josephus.
The city, however, was doomed to destruction, partly because of the dissensions among its inhabitants and partly because of the exactions of the Roman procurators.

 The Heavens Declare  J Preston Eby
Ah — the Jerusalem "which now is" is the one with which the saints in Galatia were well acquainted in that day, the natural city there in Palestine built on seven mountains and surrounded by a great wall, and containing a magnificent temple that was first built by Solomon and later rebuilt by Zerubbabel.
She is a city that is not located away out there somewhere in the blue, but in the heavens or exalted places of the human spirit.
At the very moment of the doom of old Jerusalem, when city and temple perish together — when all the ceremonial and ritual of the earthly and transitory are swept away, the temple of God in heaven is opened, and the ark of His covenant is seen in the temple.

Jerusalem was then one of the largest cities in the world with a population of 150,000-200,000.
The northern wall of the city, including the Temple Mount enclosure wall (which was originally part of the northern wall of the ancient city), had to be rebuilt and refortified (including the Birah (Baris) fortress located on the north-western corner of the Mount) after the extensive destruction caused by "ramming engines" when Jerusalem was besieged.
