More about the place

Mishkenot Sha'ananim was the first Jewish neighborhood built outside the Old City walls, in 1860, initiated by Moses Montefiore with funds left by the philanthropist Judah Touro. The neighborhood was built as one long row of houses, above the Sultan's Pool and facing Mount Zion, and further up the hill stands the windmill Montefiore had built even earlier. Today, the renovated buildings house a conference center, a music center, and a guesthouse.
