Jaffa is one of the oldest port cities in the Mediterranean. For over 5000 years Jaffa has  served as a gateway between east and west, north and south, a cosmopolitan city that witnessed the passage of warriors, pilgrims and visitors, goods, ideas, fashion, and stories. The tales of Jaffa are presented in the new visitors' center at the heart of Kdumim Square in Old Jaffa, within an archeological space located under the popular square.
