Market in Jaffa

Changed the banner!

This new banner is a detail of "Market in Jaffa", painted by Gustav Bauernfeind (1847-1904) in 1887.

In ancient times, Jaffa (or Yafo in Arabic) was an important port city on the Levantine coast. Today it's part of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area (the municipality is actually called Tel Aviv-Yafo).
