Welcome to "The Locomotive Complex 70414"
The construction of the old city in Beer Sheva began at the end of the 19th century, during the Turkish rule - as a central district city, and there are unique and historically important buildings.
The Turkish railway station was established during the Ottoman rule and Be’er Sheva was joined in 1915 to the international railway line "Hijazit Railway". "Beit HaNetivot" served as a central passenger terminal and housed the offices of the train station. In the roof of the building on both sides of the balconies, stone slabs were embedded, bearing the inscription "Bi al-Sheba" (Beer Sheva) in Arabic. With the end of the Turkish Railways operation, the building underwent a thorough renovation and served as the official residence of the British governors. For the liberation of Beer Sheva in 1948 by the IDF forces, a paper printing workshop and a Beer Sheva field school of the Society for the Protection of Nature operated in the building.
Beit HaNetivot today: the historic building houses a prestigious chef’s restaurant and a gallery for changing art exhibitions.
