34 Dr. Efklides's Residence

Architect: Spyro Houri, early 20^th century

A visit at a residence that offers a glimpse of how Greek Orthodox families lived in Jerusalem at the beginning of the 20^thcentury. It used to be the home of Dr. Photias Efklides, a pillar of the local Greek Orthodox community and the first director of the municipal hospital built under Ottoman rule at the end of the 19^th century. The house has been restored as a museum that exhibits furniture, artifacts, and photographs belonging to the doctor and his family. Guided tours in groups of 25 will start every 30 minutes.
