שרידי החומה הדרומית
חומה הקיפה את יפו מאז המאה ה-18, ככל הנראה. החומה כללה קיר פנימי וקיר חיצוני וביניהם סוללת עפר. מחוץ לקיר החיצוני נחפר חפיר עמוק. החל ממחצית המאה ה-19 השתפר מאוד המצב הבטחוני, החומות פורקו והעיר התפשטה מעבר לגבולותיה הקודמים. אנו עומדים כעת למרגלות שרידי החומר הדרומית.

רישום ובו מבט ליפו מדרום, 1853

Remains of the Southern Wall
A wall apparently surrounded Jaffa beginning in the 18th century.
The wall had an outer and an inner face, between which was an earthen glacis. A deep moat was dug outside the outer face. In the mid-19th century, following vastly improved security conditions, the wall began to be dismantled and the city expanded. You are now standing at the foot of the southern wall’s remains.
