Abstract

This book traces the architectural and social history of seventeen urban families and mansions in sixteen Palestinian towns. With sensitivity and passion, the young author takes the reader on a journey through Jerusalem, Acre, Jaffa, Haifa, Nazareth, Safad, Jinin, Qalqilya, Nablus, Ramallah, el-Bireh, Bethlehem, Bayt Jala, Jericho, and Hebron. Beautiful photographs and drawings by Mia Grondahl illustrate the text on these hidden architectural treasures of Palestine.
