The season’s first rain reached Jerusalem over the weekend, giving Mishkenot Sha’ananim and nearby Yemin Moshe an unexpectedly wintry look. The historic windmill emerged through cool air and soft mist, while the stone alleys around it took on gentle autumn tones. A short video captures the scene from a perspective rarely seen during the year.
Can visitors enjoy Jerusalem’s windmill throughout the year?
The Mishkenot Sha’ananim windmill is open to visitors most days of the year and remains one of Jerusalem’s most recognizable viewpoints. Even on rainy days, the alleys of Yemin Moshe and the overlook beside the windmill provide a quiet, picturesque stop for both locals and tourists.
