Encore plus d’information sur Talpiot et la promenade Haas sur le Wikipédia anglais, beaucoup plus étoffé que le site francophone :

Talpiot (Hebrew : תלפיות‎‎, lit. ’turrets’ or ’magnificently built’) is an Israeli neighborhood in southeast Jerusalem, established in 1922 by Zionist pioneers. It was built as a garden suburb on land purchased by the Tel Aviv-based Palestine Land Development Company and other Jewish building societies.[1]

In the 1920s, the Bauhaus architect Richard Kaufmann presented the British Mandate authorities with a plan for Talpiot, which he designed as a garden suburb. The plan included a large building that he envisioned as a future parliament, redesignated as an art gallery to appease the doubters.[5] The first residents were clerical and office personnel. Living in the neighborhood required membership in a mutual society to which dues were paid.[1] Despite a British Mandate regulation stating that all buildings in Jerusalem must be use Jerusalem stone, developers in Talpiot were permitted to use stucco-covered concrete due to the high demand for housing.[1]

(raison pour laquelle toutes les maisons de Talpiot sont construites en pierre rose de Jérusalem)

Connecting East Talpiot and Talpiot is the Haas Promenade (Hebrew : הטיילת‎‎ – ha-Tayelet). Together with the Sherover and Goldman Promenades, the three form a continuous public park from Jabl Mukabar to the east to Abu Tor to the north. From this vantage point atop a ridge overlooking Jerusalem’s Old City and the Dead Sea, tradition holds that Abraham was shown Mount Moriah as the site for the binding of Isaac as recorded in the Bible.[12] Hidden under this ridge are the remains of an aqueduct built by Herod the Great to bring water from the south, by way of his summer palace Herodium, to the Second Temple.[13]

This area was a no man’s land in the period between the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967. At one end of the promenade, on the Hill of Evil Counsel, is the United Nations Middle East Headquarters, located in the former Palace of the British High Commissioner (Armon HaNetziv).
