Talbiya

Talbiya

Talbiya or Talbiyeh ( _he. טלביה) is an upscale neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israel, located between Rehavia and Katamon. It was built in the 1920s and 1930s on land purchased from the Greek Patriarchate. Most of the early residents were affluent Christian Arabs who built elegant homes with Renaissance, Moorish and Arab architectural motifs, surrounded by trees and flowering gardens. [ [https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Archaeology/jermandate.html Jerusalem: Architecture in the British Mandate Period ] ]

The neighborhood's Hebrew name "Komemiyut," (קוממיות) introduced after the establishment of the state, never caught on, and it is still known as "Talbiya."

Many of Jerusalem's important cultural institutions are located in Talbiya, among them the Jerusalem Theater, the Van Leer Institute and the official residence of the President of Israel.

Talbiya's "Gan Havradim" (Rose Garden) dates back to the 1930s. After the establishment of the State of Israel, official Independence Day events were held at this park.
