Supreme Court of Israel building, Supreme courthouse in Givat Ram district, Jerusalem, Israel.
The Supreme Court building features geometric shapes with copper-clad pyramids, five courtrooms, and a library surrounding circular courtyards at 813 meters elevation.
The Supreme Court moved to its current location in 1992 after operating for 44 years in Jerusalem's Russian Compound, funded by Dorothy de Rothschild.
The building combines modern architectural elements with traditional Jerusalem construction materials, including stone walls and circular windows throughout the structure.
The Supreme Court building holds 15 judicial chambers, with three justices presiding over each case, serving as both constitutional court and appeals court.
Natural light streams through numerous windows and glass walls, creating patterns of light and shadow that change throughout the day in every corridor.
