Neve Zedek Train Station (Mitcham HaTachanah)
turns into an historical and cultural center
One of the best attractions in Tel Aviv is the reconstructed train station complex. If you're touring Tel Aviv, make sure not to skip this lovely site. Located next to Neve Tzedek , an historical neighborhood in Tel Aviv , has become known for its great architecture, vivid cultural life and unique atmosphere that attracts artists and designers. The station complex has been recently opened for the general public after being closed for years.
Mitcham Hatachanah
The site is generally referred to as Hatachana, meaning station in Hebrew. The station was built in 1891 under the Ottoman regime as the first railroad in Israel, which served as a major junction for transportation and commerce.
The site has been closed for many years and was used by the IDF. A few years ago it was handed to the Tel Aviv municipality that made a decision to turn the station into a cultural center. The high cost of renovating and preserving the site has led the municipality to turn the station into a cultural center.
A team of professionals has gathered to reconstruct a number of historical structures within the compound that have been neglected for centuries. Thanks to their wonderful work the buildings were accurately reconstructed, giving the outside observer a sense of authenticity. Among the 22 buildings is the tile and brick factory constructed by the Templars.
According to the news, Tel Aviv municipality plans to keep on developing the site so more is to be expected. Be sure not to miss this magical spot with a taste of history.
