Abstract

In just over one century Palestinian cities, traditionally cosmopolitan, have radically changed. Along the road from Jaffa to Jerusalem, settlements revolutions have left their marks, changing the structure of the pre-existing landscapes. The new Jewish immigrants, coming from multiple cultures, moved into a limited geographic area rich of history. With the advent of Zionism, urban and rural landscapes, theaters of conflicts with indigenous peoples, became the instrument through which the Zionist ideology aimed to establish a link with the history, re-evaluating ancient and forgotten sites in contemporary purposes.
