Castra Center - Art, Recreation and Shopping Center

Castra Art, Recreation and Shopping Center is situated inside a ravishing architectonic structure, decorated with syncline paintings and sculptures by artist Eric Brower.

Castra houses two museums, one of which displays antiquities from the old city of Castra, and the other is a puppet theatre relaying the chronological history of the Jewish people. The place exhibits the largest ceramic tiled painting of its kind in the world and, among other things, biblical scenes such as: the Garden of Eden, David and Goliath and many more.
