Jaffa, Mediterranean quarter in Tel Aviv, Israel

Giaffa stands on an elevated outcrop along the Mediterranean coast, featuring narrow stone alleys, blue-painted doors, and numerous art galleries throughout its streets.

Archaeological findings confirm settlements from the Bronze Age, with the oldest discovered structure being the Gate of Ramses II from 1400 BCE.

The district maintains a mixed population of Jewish and Arab residents, with traditional workshops, art studios, and religious buildings representing both communities.

The flea market opens daily except Saturday, offering antiques, crafts, and local goods across multiple indoor and outdoor sections.

The zodiac bridge connects different sections of Giaffa, displaying twelve bronze plaques representing astronomical signs along its railings.
