FIRST TEMPLE WALL FOUND IN CITY OF DAVID

First Temple Wall Found in City of David - Etgar Lefkovits (Jerusalem Post)
A wall from the First Temple was recently uncovered in Jerusalem's City of David, strengthening the claim that it is the site of the palace of King David. The new find was made by Dr. Eilat Mazar, a senior fellow at the Shalem Center's Institute for the Archeology of the Jewish People.

Probably from the First Temple "period" not the First Temple itself, as suggested on http://paleojudaica.blogspot.com

Here's a beautiful virtual experience:
