Zion Square
Zion Square ((ヘブライ語: כיכר ציון), ''Kikar Tziyon'') is a public square in West Jerusalem, Israel, located at the intersection of Jaffa Road, Ben Yehuda Street, Herbert Samuel Street, and Yoel Moshe Salomon Street.
The square is one of the vertices of the Downtown Triangle commercial district. Since the British Mandate era, Zion Square has been the focal point of the cultural life of downtown Jerusalem. The square is busy day and night with tourists, elderly immigrants, overseas students, local youth, street performers, and religious activists. In recent decades, the square has become a hangout for disaffected and homeless youth.
From the 1930s to 2011, the square was a popular site for mass protests and demonstrations. Zion Square was also the site of several terrorist attacks and a 2012 assault on Palestinian youths by a group of Jewish youths.
==Name==
The square, originally called Zion Circus, was named for the Zion Cinema〔 (also called Zion Hall), a 400-seat silent movie house which occupied a hut on the site from 1912 to 1920. After the hut collapsed under a heavy snowfall, the cinema was reconstructed as a 600-seat theater for film screenings and live opera performances.
