Summary[edit]

Description Haifa, Israel
English: In the 19th century this road was named Burj Road, after the small fortress (Burj in Arabic might mean “tower”) that had been built by Turkish-time rulers on the rockshelf overlooking the newly-rebuilt Haifa and the bay. Seeing the stunning Israeli victory in the 1948 war, it was renamed as Ma’alé HaShihrur – Hebrew for Liberation Slope. Long used as an essential connector beween Downtown and Hadar, as the 21st-century plans of rehabilitation for this zone were introduced this Wadi Salib narrow and steep street commenced gaining some small-scale figures of local style and appreciation, expressed mainly in lawfirms entering the disintegrating houses to celebrate their proximity to the new courthouse, whose rear is seen in the centre of the image.

Not only offering an example of local-level preservation, Ma’ale HaShihrur is still also a unique and important topographic and urban (borough) boundary. Orienting from west, its eastern extendant is Ibn Gabirol Street.
