Rishon the Old city area


The city was founded in 1882 along with the city of Petah Tikva, and it is considered the first Zionist settlement in Israel. That is why the city is named Rishon Le-Tzion, with the fact that the literally meaning of the name is ‘first to Zion’.

The main street in the city is Hertzel street. A walk along the long street is exposing the city through all its true nature. The street is a mixture of old and new, starting with the old Carmel winery and closing with the recent shops.

In the old city of Rishon there are a lot of sites which contains historical characters. Most of these sites are located along the The Midrahov, or around its area. The sites are placed a walking distance from each other.

Among these sites there is the Gan-HaMoshava, or the Gan Ha-Nadiv, park. The park is located in the center of the old city, along Hrtzel street, and has been renewed recently. It contains an avenue of tall palm trees, lawns playground for children and a little pond.
