Map of the Mea She'arim neighborhood, the main part of which was completed by 1881. The quarter was planned by the architect Conrad Schick, who created a wall by building a line of attached houses along the perimeter of the area. The protected inner section served for the erection of public buildings, a park and a courtyard which was the center of communal activities. The adjacent neighborhoods of Batei Ungarin and Batei Neitin were built later, following a similar plan.
