Bet Busel

The two-story Bet Busel building stands in the heart of Safed, incorporating architectural elements characteristic of early twentieth-century residential construction methods.

Built in 1904 as a British missionary hospital serving the Jewish population of Galilee and Safed, the building later transformed into a Scottish missionary college until 1936.

The structure represents the evolution of healthcare facilities in northern Israel, marking the transition from missionary-operated medical centers to modern Israeli institutions.

Located on Palmach Street, the building maintains its original exterior features and remains accessible for architectural research and historical documentation purposes.

During the 1948 War of Independence, the building served as a strategic outpost for Haganah forces defending the Jewish Quarter of Safed.
