Jaffa Walls, City walls in Old Jaffa, Israel
The defensive fortifications formed a complete circuit around Old Jaffa, with a primary gate named Jerusalem Gate on the eastern side facing inland.
The Ottoman governor Muhammad Abu Nabbut commissioned the construction of these walls in the early 19th century, which remained until their dismantling in 1868.
The walls integrated watchtowers and artillery positions, reflecting Ottoman military architecture and the strategic importance of Jaffa as a port city.
Remnants of the original walls are visible along Yefet Street between Clock Tower Square and Louis Pasteur Street in modern Tel Aviv-Yafo.
The walls featured covered passages, including Rebecca Street and Solomon Abulafia Street, which served as pedestrian access points through the fortifications.
