Beneath the Nablus Gate some very impressive remains have been excavated, containing the entire Roman gate and the square located in front of it. The Roman Gate was constructed during the reign of Adrian Caesar (133) and was made up of three apertures; the eastern one has survived almost in its entirety and one can pass through it to the original stone paved square on top of which there once used to stand a 22 meter column, from which the distance to other cities in the Land of Israel was measured. Nowadays the square serves as a museum showing the history of the Nablus Gate through maps, photographs and illustrations.

The works of sculptor and artistic printmaker Rudi Lehman | Ticho House Museum | ||
|
Opened Tuesday, November 22, 2011, 18:00
The exhibition will stay open until mid March. Rudi Lehman (1907 – 1977) sculptor, artistic printmaker, and sketcher, has made an impact on the Israeli art history. He was also a teacher who educated many pupils. The many sculptures and wood carvings he created, deal mostly with the subject of animals, and stand out through their ability to express by minimalist details the nature and essence of his objects in a purified manner, full of tenderness, humanity and innocence. His unique sculptures have won him a place among the most outstanding sculptors of his time, who has made an impact on generations of artists; his own work, however, was left behind in the margins of the main works of art in Israel. This exhibition focuses on Lehman's wood carvings and wood prints, created in the 1950s. Opening hours: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, 10:00 – 17:00 Tuesday, 10:00 – 22:00 Friday 10:00 – 14:00 |

We will see how the Christian church fits in an Orthodox Jewish community, we’ll pass through the Latin Gate, see the size of the Greek site (which is about a third of the Christian quarter), get to know the believers up close and end the tour at the amazing 12th century garden of the Armenian quarter.
