Jerusalem Historical City Hall Building

The Jerusalem Historical City Hall Building features rusticated masonry walls and wrought iron window grilles that reflect traditional Mamluk architectural elements.

British architect Clifford Holliday designed this administrative building, which served as Jerusalem's town hall from 1934 to 1993 during and after the British Mandate period.

The City Council Chamber contains stained glass windows created by Israeli artist Avigdor Arikha, installed in 1972 to enhance the interior space.

Located at the intersection of Jaffa Street and Safra Square, the building stands near multiple public transportation stops and walking routes to the Old City.

The southeast facade still displays the original Barclays Bank logo, as the bank financed the construction and maintained offices in the rounded section facing the Old City.
