The Sarouna Compound is a 140 year's-old ex-Templar settlement in the heart of Tel Aviv.
At the time, German Templar-settlers arrived in Tel-Aviv in aspiration of pious-missionary Christian activities. Sarona had been their third settlement in Palestine.
The Templars had transformed the little hill that overlooked the Mediterranean Sea into a growing agricultural settlement that quickly shifted the city's new citizens' life to both commerce and leisure.
History has had its impact on the terrain and after having exiled the Templars; the British mandate in Palestine had occupied the site and had turned it into a military base for the British forces.
In December 1947 the British handed over the Sarona camp to the Jewish leadership upon evacuation and nearing the announcement of the newly born state of Israel.
In the 2000's the government offices vacated and moved to other offices.
In year 2006 a plan to preserve 36 historical buildings was approved, in order to return the former façade from the time of the Templar settlement.
The Sarona compound offers a center for culture, leisure and shopping and its visitors' center tells the story of the turbulent history and its important place as a national heritage site.
