Manshiya

Manshiya (Hebrew: מנשייה, Arabic: المنشية, al-Manshiyya) was a residential neighbourhood of Jaffa, Israel.

This article is about the neighbourhood of Jaffa. For villages of the same name, see Al-Manshiyya (disambiguation).

Manshiyya was located on the border between Jaffa and Tel Aviv, on the seafront north of the harbor. The neighbourhood was demolished in order to build a central business district, but only some of the planned office buildings were constructed. Three buildings remain from the original neighbourhood, the Hassan Bek Mosque, the partially preserved building now known as "Beit Gidi" or "Etzel House", which houses part of the Irgun Museum of Tel Aviv, and a derelict house on 77 Mered Street.
