traveling to Israel, I visited Jaffa one of the most ancient cities
Israel this ancient city fortress Today it is part of Tel-Aviv and
one of the main attractions city compares the name of the coastal
cities of Israel, I can safely call one of the most colorful and
interesting because of the huge number of legends and legends enveloping the city
historical and cultural sights that are here
meet at every step and amazing atmosphere of the port in this city
speaking in one of the many legends connected with Jaffa
It is necessary to note the traditions about the fact that the city was formed by one of the sons of Noah
but remember the ancient Greek myth of Beautiful Andromeda chained to the rock and
given to the terrible sea monster
yes yes this legend is also associated with jaffa and it is here that the brave Perseus
defeated the sea monster freed beloved and took her to wife today
walking along the old jaffa you can even see the ancient breakaway stones
from the famous Andromeda rocks and reached to the present day
However, we leave the legends and move on to The true story of this beautiful
the city the first mention of Jaffa dates from the times of ancient Egypt
when the soldiers of Pharaoh Thutmose 3 captured city
making him a part of the great the ancient Egyptian kingdom
during the reign of the Romans city developed and flourished by
one of the most important trade economic objects of the Roman Empire
during the Jewish War the city was destroyed to the ground for a while
lay in the ruins of the Middle Ages as it was captured by the Arabs and gradually lost
status of a commercial city first crusades when the city came under
authority of the Knights Templar order changing jafo is transformed from a port
an important strategic trading city and
kingdom of the Crusaders but after a while The city is again under the power
Muslims who destroy it before only a few centuries later
the city is in the possession of Napoleon 1950, I though Tel Aviv
unite in the same way No less affected the originality and uniqueness
suit today's historical part
is a huge tourist and cultural object
numerous monuments of history and culture of bygone days that
perfectly coexists in the neighborhood modern hotel restaurants and
art galleries by the way walk in the port can be one of the
twelve lanes each of which dedicated to a certain sign of the zodiac
these lanes have long been chosen by artists and masters of the arts
the most iconic object for Christians is the church of St. Peter
the present building of which is nineteenth century Franciscans on the
The place where in the time of the Crusaders stood fortress
The port of Jaffa is the oldest in Israel its history is more than 3000 years old
the first mention of the port is found The Book of John the period of Turkish rule
it was through this port that the first Jewish immigrants from Europe in the 19th century
The Yaffa port served more than one world shipping company took more than 5
passenger liners weekly start 20th century
port reconstructed built breakwaters telegraph lines
warehouses and a lighthouse by the way the lighthouse is located right from the pores there on the rock andromeda
Today port I function as a small fishing port and recreation areas with
many different cafes and restaurants which you can enjoy
delicious dishes from the seafood and so as the jaffa is located directly on
the territory of Tel Aviv to reach it it will not be difficult from the city center
Tel Aviv you can walk a couple
kilometers along the coast direction port for me hardy you
you can do the same on rented car or taxi
the fare will cost about 25 shekels although if the day was not very hot and
sunny then a 30-minute walk to Jaffa will be
excellent pastime bus Route number 46 will take you to one of the
streets Jaffa travel costs six shekels
at the highest point of the old city a composition of biblical
motifs of the gates of faith on two pillars The scenes and life of the patriarchs are depicted
Abraham's willingness to sacrifice His son Isaac and Jacob's dream
which God promises the holy land of his descendants on the pillars are sculptural
block symbolizing the taking of Jericho as fulfillment of this supreme promise
I invite you to visit the wish bridge amazing stone bridge with figurines
12 Signs of the Zodiac according to the ancient tradition, every
I'll have to touch my hands to sculpture
his zodiac and looking at the sea make the most cherished desire that
it's bound to come true by the way here soon come not only to
Make a wish The bridge is very popular among the newlyweds
