Comments:
A sign of the Jerusalem "The Built Heritage" series, a project initiated by architectural historian David Kroyanker in 1993, in which buildings of historic value were commemorated in central Jerusalem.
The signs were designed by Harel Designers Office, and the logo is in the form of a relief of a rosette window ("Rosetta").

The name of the building is translated as "The Holy Land". As mentioned, the building was used for years by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and was a replacement for the campus on Mount Scopus, access to which was blocked after the War of Independence. In 1990, after a legal battle, the building returned to its original owners Custodia di Terra Santa (Custody of the Holy Land).

The building was photographed on the same day Click for a larger image

ANNO DOMINI MDCDXXVII
