Florentin

Florentin is defined by a dense, industrial-era urban fabric where rows of low-rise buildings and narrow streets crowd together, often displaying weathered facades and vibrant layers of street art. Established in the nineteen-twenties on former orchard land, the area was designed to support a modest working-class population. Its development was closely tied to the Jaffa-Jerusalem railway that once ran just to the south, providing a logistical hub for the workshops, small factories, and warehouses that formed the neighborhood's backbone.
