Eden Cinema, Movie theater and heritage site in Neve Tzedek district, Tel Aviv, Israel

Eden Cinema sits on Lilenblum Street in the Neve Tzedek quarter and displays architectural features from the early 20th century. The building has a straightforward, solid appearance with details typical of early cinema houses in that period.
History
The cinema opened in 1914 but the Turkish authorities seized its projector during World War I due to security concerns. After this early disruption, it became an important venue in the developing city.

Practical
The building is located in the heart of the historic Neve Tzedek quarter, which is easy to explore on foot. The site remains part of the street landscape and heritage of this area, though it is not open to visitors inside.
