Sarahiya House

The Sarahiya House stands as a two-story structure with traditional Ottoman architectural elements, including defined geometric patterns and regional building materials.

Built in 1901 during the Ottoman period, this administrative building marked the establishment of formal governance structures in the developing city of Beersheba.

The building's name, Sarahiya, derives from 'Serai,' reflecting the Ottoman administrative terminology that continues to influence local architectural heritage.

Located at coordinates 31.240701° N and 34.787843° E in the Old City district, the building maintains its function as a municipal administrative center.

This building represents one of the earliest permanent administrative structures in the Negev region, predating much of Beersheba's modern urban development.
