The picturesque Mishkenot Sha’ananim is part of the first neighborhood constructed outside the Old City walls.
Built along the pastoral top of a mountain overlooking the Old City walls in 1860, the historical area is popular among artists with venues for art and culture in the spirit of dialogue, cooperation and pluralism. There is also a guesthouse popular with artists and writers.
Mishkenot Sha’ananim houses the Jerusalem Music Center (JMC), an independent, nonprofit organization that offers top-notch concerts and facilitates enrichment programs dedicated to nurturing emerging Israeli talent.
