Russian Compound

The Russian Compound (, ''Migraš ha-Rusim'', (アラビア語:المسكوبية), ''al-Muskubīya'') is one of the oldest districts in central Jerusalem, including a large Russian Orthodox church and several former pilgrim hostels, of which some are used as Israeli government buildings and for the Museum of Underground Prisoners. The compound was built between 1860 and 1890, with the addition in 1903 of the Nikolai Pilgrims Hospice. The Russian Compound covers 68 dunams (68,000 m² or roughly 17 acres) between Jaffa Road, Shivtei Israel Street, and the Street of the Prophets. After 1890 it was closed by a gated wall, thus the name "compound", but it has long since been a freely accessible central-town district.
==History==
Formerly a Turkish cavalry parade ground during Ottoman rule, and originally known as “New Jerusalem” (Nuva Yerushama), the “Russian Compound” is a historical area abounding in heritage, scenery and unique environmental features.Throughout history, the hill on which the compound lies had been a prime location for mobilizing forces in order to make attempts to conquer Jerusalem (for instance, in 700 BC by the Assyrian garrison force, and in 70 AD by Roman troops mobilized by Titus).
The compound's construction from 1860-1864 was initiated by the ''Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society'' to serve the large amounts of Russian pilgrims to the Holy City. Designed by Russian architect Martin Ivanovich Eppinger, it included a mission, consulate, hospital, and hostels.〔(Jerusalem: Architecture in the late Ottoman Period )〕 The compound became a centre of government administration for the British Mandate. The women's hostel served as the Mandate's central prison, and now serves as a museum for incarcerated members of the outlawed Zionist underground groups such as the Irgun and Lehi.
The Israeli led by then Administrator General Haim Kadmon purchased the Russian Compound in the 1960s, save the Holy Trinity church and another building. The complex was for many years a centre of Jerusalem's nightlife, though the municipality has recently closed the area nightclubs and is planning on redeveloping it as a residential area. The municipality's headquarters at Safra Square (''Kikar Safra'') are themselves located on the edge of the compound, and several departments of the local government have their offices in the district as well.
