The Mahane Yehuda Market is the main open market in western Jerusalem. Its historical core is a vegetable and fruits market, yet today it offers a wide variety of goods and food experiences.
History of the Mahane Yuhudah Market
In the early 20th century Jewish communities developed on both side of Jaffa Road, the end of the main road leading into Jerusalem from the coast. As Arab farmers were eager to sale their agricultural produce in these new neighborhoods, the plot of Yehudah Valiro developed as a new market, and so it was named after him. In the British Mandate period, the market was regulated by a plan that is followed to this day.
