The water tower is known as a symbol of Nahariya. It is now used as an urban art gallery where changing exhibitions are displayed. The venue is also used for lectures and circles in the art, theater and music fields.
The tower was designed as a closed structure with 8 sides and its main purpose was to supply water to irrigate the northern parts of the settlement. Since 2003, the site has been reopened under the initiative of the Nahariya Municipality, in collaboration with Mifal Hapayis – Israel’s state lottery, the Council for the Preservation of Sites and the “Inner Way” – Rotary Club, and it is now used as a municipal art gallery, with changing exhibitions.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
