The first historic train station in Jerusalem, founded 121 years ago, will reopen its doors to the public in the spring of 2013. Located in Jerusalem’s Baka neighbourhood between the road from Hebron to Bethlehem, the “First Station” is soon to become a touristic complex.
Built in 1892, the station was the first railroad constructed in Palestine (then under Ottoman rule). From that point on, the train travelled from Jerusalem to Jaffa and continued to function until 1998. For the past 15 years, the old train station has remained abandoned.
The historic building will now reopen to the public as “The First Station”, a cultural centre that is envisaged to host artistic events, exhibitions, and serve as a local museum. The building's original architectural design was heavily influenced by 19th century European templar culture, thus the restoration of the station will allow for the centre to become a significant touristic attraction. Original wagons and locomotives stationed at the site will not leave the property boundaries, but will serve as museum pieces.

The finds, dated to the early monarchic period and including pottery figurines of men and horses, provide rare testimony of a ritual cult in the Jerusalem region at the beginning of the period of the monarchy.
They were uncovered during excavations by the Israel Antiquities Authority, prior to work by the National Roads Company on the new Highway 1 section.
