Alhambra Cinema, Art Deco movie theater in Jaffa, Israel
The Alhambra Cinema stands on Jerusalem Boulevard with white Art Deco facades and geometric patterns characteristic of 1930s architecture.
Lebanese architect Elias Al-Mor designed this cinema which opened in 1937 as one of the largest entertainment venues in Palestine.
The cinema screened films for mixed Arab and Jewish audiences, featuring performances by Egyptian artists including Umm Kulthum and Farid al-Atrash.
The building contained 1,100 seats in its original configuration before its transformation into a theater in 1963 and later uses.
After decades of different functions, including time as a bank, the structure became the Ideal Center of Scientology for the Middle East in 2012.
