Esteemed Steemians,
join me today for a walk across Jaffa, the oldest quarter of Tel Aviv, Israel. While Tel Aviv makes a very modern and cosmopolitan impression in almost all aspects, Jaffa has all the traits of a charming old, ancient harbor town.
Jaffa or Yafo, is the located in the southern and oldest part of Tel Aviv-Jaffa. The town is famous for its association with biblical stories as well as the mythological story of Andromeda and Perseus, and later with oranges.
The Clock Square with its hallmark clocktower was built in 1906. Jaffa Hill is a center for archaeological finds, including restored Egyptian gates. Jaffa Lighthouse is located in the old port. It boasts a stunning view to the contrasting modern skyline of Tel Aviv.
Modern Jaffa has a mixed population of Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
