✡ Galicia Courtyard

The Galicia Courtyard is a complex of several houses and yeshivas located on the rooftop level of the market in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem. It is adjacent to the Jewish Quarter above Chabad Street and west of the Reisin Courtyard. It is part of a larger complex that included dozens of apartments and two synagogues inhabited by Jews until 1936. It belonged partly to Yaakov Hirschensohn, father of Chaim Hirschensohn, and partly to Kollel Galicia. Today, four Jewish families live on the outskirts of the compound and their Yeshivat Aderet Eliyahu is located in the court's Excellent Zion Synagogue
