A "Modern Jewish City"
Talpiyot is unique in Jerusalem, since it is the only neighborhood in Jerusalem that was planned as a "modern city".
The original plan was to create a "modern Jewish city" alongside the Old City that could compete with the prestige of the latter, and would be an attractive alternative for those looking to live in Jerusalem.
Talpiyot literally means "Turrets" or "magnificently built". It is also a reference to the Temple, and whilst it has a totally different feel it is still within walking distance to the Old City.
The biggest change for Talpiyot came after the Six Day War with the relocation of the border line. As a result, a great deal of real estate interest emerged in the 1970s and the character of the neighborhood changed completely.
In recent years, there has been a huge amount of construction work in Talpiyot, with many housing units added.
