Umm al-'Amed (Arabic: أُمّ العَمَد, lit. 'Mother of the columns'), or Mugharet Umm el-Amed (Arabic: مغارة أُمّ العَمَد, lit. 'Cave of the mother of the columns'), is a monumental rock-cut tomb located in Wadi Ramot, north of ancient Jerusalem. Part of the necropolis of Second Temple-era Jerusalem, the tomb features a classical façade and finely carved masonry, characteristic of the elite Jewish burial architecture of late Second Temple Judea.
