The Wohl Rose Park

The Wohl Rose Park is planted in the midst of the serious looking Kiryat HaLeom complex (which includes among others the Israeli Government and Knesset or Parliament complexes) in Jerusalem and adds to it a cheerful and fresh atmosphere. As befitting its name, the Wohl Rose Park includes about 15,000 rose bushes of hundreds of species. The roses are planted in different areas according to their countries of origin, and each area offers informative signs. The Wohl Rose Park spreads over 75 dunams and offers also lovely lawns, benches and a small lake which is fed by a water canal. One can also find in the Wohl Rose Park the Knesset Menorah. It is interesting to know that during the development works that were done at the Wohl Rose Park many archeological finds were discovered, including Jewish burial caves from the time of the second Jewish Temple, a mosaic floor from the Byzantine period and more. It is recommended to combine the visit to the Wohl Rose Park with a visit to the Israeli Supreme Court complex as well.

Arrival at the Wohl Rose Park: the Wohl Rose Park is located at Kiryat HaLeom complex, opposite to the Knesset.
