Jerusalem - old downtown
Note there is a difference between old and new downtown in Jerusalem. Not far from each other but very different.
The new one has modern buildings, cafes, restaurants, night life and a lively youth scene.

The old downtown dates from the British Mandate and it was in its heyday in the 1930s and 40s.
That’s were the old Knesset was, where Independence was declared in 1948. The building is being renovated and will be opened as a museum,
so I only saw the exterior (not the one in the photo).

No photos of that one as it was all surrounded by a construction area fence. Maybe next trip.
