Description
Riwaq dedicated its agenda for 2025 to highlight twelve historic sites in the Gaza Strip.
Gaza hosted the first temples in Palestine and witnessed the dawn of Christianity. It contains treasures of Islamic architecture and traditional buildings that witness this land’s authenticity and richness. Gaza has always faced its invaders forcefully arriving by sea and land, and every time, the people reconstructed their city with love, hope, and faith.
Tyrannies will perish, and the land will remain ours to build as we
have always done.

Since 1991, RIWAQ has recognized the challenging complexities of preserving Palestinian collective memory through projects that document and restore architectural heritage sites across the West Bank and Gaza. Harnessing the energy and skills of students, architects, archaeologists, and historians, RIWAQ embarked on the Registry of Historic Buildings, a thirteen year project (1994-2007) resulting in the publication of three volumes that include detailed histories, maps, and photos of approximately 420 villages in sixteen districts across the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza.
