Rishon LeZion well, Heritage water well in Rishon LeZion, Israel
The water well stands as a stone structure with a deep shaft reaching into underground aquifers, marking a critical water source for early settlers.
In 1883, Baron Edmond de Rothschild provided 25,000 francs to drill this deep well after initial settlers faced severe water shortages in the region.
The well received the Hebrew name 'Beer Matzanu Mayim', meaning 'We Found Water Well', reflecting the settlers' determination to establish their community.
Located at coordinates 31.96405 latitude and 34.80494 longitude, the well remains accessible to visitors exploring the historical sites of Rishon LeZion.
This water source enabled the establishment of the first modern Hebrew city outside Tel Aviv, transforming barren land into a thriving agricultural settlement.
