Jaffa is a must visit touristy neighborhood in Tel Aviv. The area is historic with lots of history
With more than 4,000 years of ancient Jaffa, it is one of the oldest cities in the world. The origin of the name Jaffa is explained in various ways, and Jewish tradition holds that after the great flood of destruction subsided, Japheth, the son of Noah, who survived the disaster, established the city, and people named it 'Jaffa' for some reason, and the pronunciation slowly evolved into Jaffa.
On a small road not far in front of St. Peter's Church, there is a small wooden bridge called The Wishing Bridge (Wishing Bridge). The wooden beams on both sides of the bridge are set with a metal statue every other section, exactly twelve pieces, representing twelve constellations, come to find your own constellations, make a wish~
