Jerusalem Old Town Hall

Jerusalem's old town hall was one of the four public buildings constructed in Jerusalem by the British administration during the British Mandate.

When the town hall at the corner of Jaffa and Mamilla streets became insufficient for the needs of the burgeoning city, the Mandatory government built a new office.

[1] Construction of the building was financed by Barclays Bank, whose offices stood in the rounded section which faces the Old City's northwest corner.

[2] British architect Clifford Holliday designed the building.

In 1972, stained glass windows designed by Israeli artist Avigdor Arikha were installed in the City Council Chamber.
