Zichron Yaakov, Historic moshava in Haifa District, Israel.
Zikhron Ya'akov stands at 70 meters above sea level, stretching along the southern Carmel mountain range with views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Romanian Jewish pioneers established this settlement in 1882, receiving support from Baron Edmond James de Rothschild who named it after his father James Mayer.
The Ohel Ya'akov Synagogue, constructed in 1886, contains a white marble ark and maintains daily prayer services for the local Jewish community.
The central Derekh HaYayin area presents stone-paved streets lined with shops, restaurants, and the Carmel Winery, established as Israel's first winery in 1885.
During World War I, the Nili spy network operated from Zikhron Ya'akov, providing intelligence to British forces against Ottoman authorities.
