Old Jaffa is a 4000-year-old city. The British Mandate authorities broke the way we travel in 1936 as part of their struggle against the Arab revolt that broke out that year. The British destroyed many houses and created this passage between the south and north of the city. The area that was called the 'Great Area' and was the focus of crime and abandonment. It was renovated in 1965 by the Tel Aviv Municipality as an artists' city, and today many art galleries are active here. A visitors' center tells about events in Jaffa's 4000-year history, showing archaeological excavations. Here there are lots of outdoor sculptures and art. The restoration of Old Jaffa was carried out with the desire to preserve the mysterious and romantic character of the city. The alleys of the city are named after the Zodiac and the wooden bridge beneath which we pass is called the Bridge of Wishes. Ask for a wish in your past under the bridge, and perhaps it will come true.
