Moscovia Detention Centre, Prison facility in Russian Compound, Jerusalem, Israel.
The detention center occupies a yellow brick building constructed in the 1860s as part of a larger Russian Orthodox Church complex in Jerusalem.
The structure began its operations during the British Mandate period, serving as the central prison for the Jerusalem region and surrounding territories.
The facility now functions as an interrogation center, reflecting the complex relationship between different communities in Jerusalem's urban landscape.
Located near Jerusalem's Old City, the detention center maintains active operations with specific areas designated for holding and questioning procedures.
The building shares its architectural style with the Museum of Underground Prisoners, both featuring distinct yellow brick construction from the 1860s period.
