Supreme Court of Israel building, Supreme courthouse in Givat Ram district, Jerusalem, Israel.
The Supreme Court building in Givat Ram is a modern courthouse with five courtrooms, a library, and pyramid-shaped structures with copper roofs surrounding several circular courtyards. The complex sits at an elevation of about 813 meters (2,667 feet) and contains a total of 15 judicial chambers, each with three judges presiding over cases.
The court moved to its current location in 1992 after operating for 44 years in the Russian Compound in central Jerusalem. Dorothy de Rothschild, a philanthropist, funded the construction of this modern judicial palace.
The building mixes modern design with traditional Jerusalem materials like stone and round windows found throughout its structure. Visitors notice how international architectural ideas blend with local building customs in the spaces and corridors.
The building stands out in its elevated location in Givat Ram and is easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors should know that guided tours are available with advance booking, and you can explore areas outside the active courtrooms.
The building uses large amounts of natural light through numerous windows and glass sections that create dynamic patterns of light and shadow throughout the corridors and spaces. These constantly shifting light conditions during the day give the interior a nearly living quality.
