Did you know?
Katamon, originally established as a neighborhood for affluent Christian Arab families in the early 20th century, became a significant battleground during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War? This turbulent period led to a dramatic shift in the area's demographics, with many of the original inhabitants fleeing and new Jewish immigrants moving in. The name "Katamon" is derived from the Greek "kata-monos," meaning "close to the monastery," referring to the nearby Monastery of St. Simeon.
