Jerusalem, Old Katamon

Old Katamon, built at the time of the British Mandate and known as the "Flower Garden of Jerusalem," is located between the neighborhood of Talbieh to the north and the new neighborhoods to the south and southeast.  The eastern border of Katamon is bordered by the German Colony and the Greek Colony.  The two streets that constitute the foundation of the neighborhood are Rachel Imanu, which runs in the east-west direction, and Kovshe Katamon, which runs in the north-south direction.  These streets are connected to the stylish, cosmopolitan Emek Refaim Street and Palmach Street in the north.

In the early 1970s, a process of renewal began in the area, and many of the inhabitants began to realize their dreams of a stone courtyard with a fence, a quality porch, a thatched roof, and different architectural styles not previously seen in the area.

The neighborhood of Katamon has a romantic, sentimental style, with small, artistic houses with yards, pragmatically located within close proximity to the center of town.

In the neighborhood are many schools, preschools, and synagogues of many different varieties.
