 The top of the clock tower,
evening time by Sharon
The clock tower was erected in the plaza between the "saraya" palace and the "kishleh" prison, next to the Great Mosque, the Mosque of Mahmudiyyeh. The cornerstone was laid on 1.9.1900, on the occasion of the 25th year of the Sultan's rule. Two stories were completed by 1901, and the tower was dedicated in late 1903-early 1904.

This is a Roman Catholic CHurch, situated on the hill above the old port of Jaffa.

 The Jaffa peninsula by mafi_moya
Although it's a separate town, in practice it runs into the suburbs of Tel Aviv and it's a very pleasant two mile walk along the seafront from Tel Aviv city centre. There's plenty to see - museums, monasteries, gardens, the flea market, and also some excellent seafood restaurants (always thinking of my stomach!) It's close enough to enjoy the nightlife and shops of Tel Aviv but a world away from its hustle and bustle and modern development.
Jaffa, or Yafa to give it its Arabic name, is definitely worth a separate page of its own and I'll build one once I've had a bit more of an explore around its old streets. Leave a Comment Directions: Yafa is a couple of miles south of Tel Aviv and it's an easy walk along the sea. If it's too hot then there are plenty of buses from Tel Aviv central station and various stops along Allenby and Ben Yehuda Streets

Some of the buildings are very interesting and also the combination with the old fishing harbour with the new shops ...
Love the mix between new and old...

 Kikar Kedumim visitor center. by navaros
The archeology diggings have exposed very old house. The visitor's center is open to see it, and the film on the history of Jaffa .
At the top of the hill is the Franciscan Church of St. Peter, which was established in the 17th Century.
One of the most important sites for Christianity in Jaffa is the house of Simon the Tanner. On the roof of this house was the miracle of the unclean foods that became clean in the eyes of the Christians and, from here, he went out first to bring the message to all the peoples and not just to the Jews. Not far from here is the grave of St. Tabitha, who died at a young age and, because of good deeds, was returned to life by St. Peter, who said to her’ “Tabitha Rise”.
visitor center: 03-5182680
Open daily. Sun-Thur: 9:00-22:00
Fri:9:00-14:00 Sat: 10:00-22:00
