The opening as it read in 2025
Neighborhood in Tel Aviv, Israel This article is about the Templer colony. Sarona under restoration Sarona Market Sarona ( Hebrew : שָׁרוֹנָה ) is a neighborhood of Tel Aviv , Israel which started as a German Templer colony in Palestine in 1871. It was one of the earliest modern villages established by Europeans in Ottoman Palestine . In July 1941, the British Mandate authorities deported 188 residents of Sarona, who were considered ardent Nazi sympathizers. By the 2000s, the area had fallen into disrepair and was a haven for drug users. However, since 2003, the area has undergone massive renovation, which involved moving and relocating historical buildings before their restoration. The area is now a popular shopping district, as well as home to museums, cultural artifacts centering on its history, and IDF complexes.
