Jaffa Port Custom's House, Ottoman-era customs building in Jaffa Port, Israel
The Customs House stands at the entrance of Jaffa Port, featuring traditional Mediterranean architectural elements with thick stone walls and arched windows.
Built during the second half of the 19th century under Ottoman rule, this structure processed countless immigrants and goods entering the Holy Land.
The building served as a gateway for diverse communities arriving at the port, marking their first steps into a new life in the region.
The structure, subject to recent demolition plans, stands as a testament to the ongoing debate between urban development and historical preservation in Tel Aviv.
Theodore Herzl passed through this customs house in 1898 during his journey to meet German Emperor Wilhelm II in Jerusalem.
