Treasures in the Wall Museum

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:39:28

Wedged into the upper ramparts in the far northeastern corner of the old city, this museum is laid out like a Galilee town souq (market) of the late Ottoman period, with blacksmith, tinsmith, potter, primus repair shop, pharmacy, hat maker and woodworking shop, all outfitted with period tools, equipment and furnishings (eg gorgeous inlaid furniture from Damascus). The entrance is up on the Land Wall Promenade, accessible from street level via a number of staircases.
