There in Jerusalem street with a strange name Mamilla. At one time it was the first street behind the walls of the Old City. It starts at the Jaffa Gate, where there was a center of trade and cultural life emerged from the medieval walls of the city: theater, a photo studio, the station stagecoaches. Stagecoaches linked Jerusalem with far Jaffa. From the Mediterranean coast in those days traveled the whole day. Immediately close, and the gallows stood where the Turkish authorities from time to time someone was executed.

A kilometer down some of this busy place was one of the main sources of water supply of the city, plunge pool, built in the early Christian era by King Herod the Great. During the winter in the basin accumulated rainwater, for which then went out of the city all the hot summer. From infection with pathogenic microbes standing water protected thin oil film. Before you enter the water in a pitcher or barrel, the film was removed.Jerusalem water in those years smelled of kerosene. Nearby is another similar pool, a smaller size. It is from this pool (in Arabic "Mamilla") and gave its name to the street leading to it, and the whole area around.
The whole street today - as an exhibition and sale of works of art - mostly sculptures.

Since 1948, Jerusalem was divided, and the street Mamilla remained on the Jordanian side. From the pool of her now fencing off the border wall.The houses were badly damaged in 1948. Battles of the Six Day War in 1967 further strengthened the destruction and desolation. For a long time these ruins and the most gaping near the Jaffa Gate. But the time has come when this piece of land is very expensive just a few steps from the Old Town, it was decided to build up the elite residential buildings and hotels mnogozvezdnymi.

One would be easier to remove the remains - and that's that. However, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that the Mamilla - historic quarter, subject to the restoration and preservation. At least outwardly. After years of controversy and architectural multimillion-dollar lawsuits come true solution - keep only the old facades, the building is rebuilt, to meet the modern requirements.

Old street, thus retained its former appearance and his small number of storeys, but becomes like a open-air gallery between the tall buildings of new buildings. Technically, it was all done so. Old houses carefully photographed. On large-scale photographs produced counting all the stones of the facade, facades then dismantled and the stones were sent to the warehouse. At the site of the old houses built new concrete boxes. In the right places were windows and doors. For concrete workers came finishers and restored old facades.
See the numbers on the rocks? Each was numbered, and took up his position.

And this old man - so called at the time of the first Prime Minister of Israel - David Ben-Gurion. As is known, in his spare time running the country he loved to stand on your head or in some other way interesting. After retiring to rest, he settled on a kibbutz in karavanchike - we like that were there - less than our kitchenette, but luxurious library and a beautiful table with a chair. Do not submit modest bedroom.
