During the time of the Crusaders, the Jaffa Gate was called the David Gate, understood as the entrance to the City of David, the former ruler of Jerusalem.

The Zion Gate is also known as the "Gate of the Prophet David," because according to Islamic tradition, David's tomb was located on Mount Zion. During the Israeli War of Independence, the gate stood as a silent witness to history, as evidenced by the many holes on its exterior, bullet holes, and signs of fierce fighting around the Old City of Jerusalem, which was occupied by Jordan at the time and prevented Jews from accessing the Western Wall.

With several hundred film contributions, culture-loving viewers can learn about very special places all over the world as part of the series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" – which I highly recommend. Despite the diversity of the cultures and eras in which they originated, the sites have one great commonality: UNESCO has recognized them as "World Heritage Sites." These include the ruins of Masada, a fortified rock city in the Israeli desert, which owes its international fame primarily to the fact that in the first century AD, soldiers of the Roman Empire stormed the site after a complex siege – however, the nearly 1,000 inhabitants had previously committed collective suicide to avoid being captured by their hated enemies. The 15-minute film contribution (only in German) can be found in the ARD media library at the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/masada-israel-folge-322/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODQ5Mjg4

They span all continents and eras: the buildings ennobled by UNESCO with the title of "World Heritage Site," conceived and realized by people of diverse civilizations. "The White City of Tel Aviv has been declared a cultural monument. (...) In 1909, the small town of Tel Aviv was founded, north of Neve Zedek. From around 1930, the first houses and residential complexes were built... by Jewish immigrants from Germany. Between 1931 and 1956, approximately 4,000 houses were built in the 'international style,' based on the Bauhaus style." As part of the German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity," hundreds of these monuments are presented to culture-loving viewers in quarter-hour segments. The one about TEL AVIV is available in the ARD media library via the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/tel-aviv-die-weisse-stadt-von-tel-aviv-israel-folge-323/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODQwMzcw

The limestone from the ditches was used to build the Crusader castle of Montfort. The castle's protective walls were five to seven meters thick. There was a castle chapel, a residential tower, several halls and a cistern that supplied the residents with water. An outbuilding belonging to the castle was found in the valley. This was most likely used as a water mill at times, but also as a guest house or hospital. The Teutonic Order had made it their mission to care for the sick, which they demonstrably also did in Montfort.

In 1957, photographer Paul Goldman portrayed the moment Ben Gurion did a handstand at the beach in Tel Aviv. On that same spot, today there is a statue depicting the iconic image on Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv. The statue was made by the German company Artilink Productions, and was placed by the company Zebra Sets.

The limestone tower was constructed in 1900 and initiated by a Joseph Bey Moyal, a Jewish businessman from Jaffa, and was made possible with contributions from all communities of Jaffa, including Arabs, Armenians, Maronites and Jews.

A Byzantine basilica was built over the remains of the shrine in the 5th century. Partially destroyed by the Persians in 614, it was subsequently restored.[3] Baldwin I, the first titled Crusader king of Jerusalem, banished his wife Arda to the old Benedictine convent which still existed here in 1104.[2] A small Crusader church, the so-called Moustier, was then erected over the wall separating the northern and southern Pools of Bethesda, among the ruins of the Byzantine church. The current Church of St Anne was built sometime between 1131 and 1138, during the reign of Queen Melisende. It was erected near the remains of the Byzantine basilica, over the site of a grotto believed by the Crusaders to be the childhood home of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus. It is dedicated to Anne and Joachim, the parents of Saint Mary, who according to tradition lived here. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Saint_Anne,_Jerusalem)

The walk into this church is quite impressive as one descends step by step deeper towards the crypta.

Suleiman the Magnificent had the Lion Gate built as part of the construction of a wall around Jerusalem in 1538 and originally wanted to call it “Bab el-Ghor” - without success. The Lion Gate has recently undergone structural changes. Like the Zion Gate, it had an angled entrance, visible through the arch on the left that still survives today. The British also tore down the rear wall to make access to the old town easier. (https://www.israelmagazin.de/israel-orte/jerusalem/die-8-altstadt-tore-2/lowentor)

Nice to decorate these otherwise rather boring houses along the beach with thematically fitting street art.

Comes in handy in summer when the heat goes up.

Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel, was an iconic figure in modern Israeli history. His influence on the country and its people was so monumental that many artists have captured it in their artwork of various forms. In 1957, the photographer Paul Goldman captured B-G doing a headstand on Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv. Residents of the area noted that it was not uncommon to see the prime minister doing such exercises on the beaches and yards near his home in the city. In 2015, the Tel Aviv Municipality put up this sculpture on the same beach where the original photo was captured, and it has since been a magnet for tourist photos and postcards.
