The European Union has supported the rehabilitation of Dar Al-Consul Complex, which belongs to the Custody of the Holy Land, throughout an eight-year process with EUR 4.23 million. Through this support, 36 residential units, 5 community courtyards, and a ground floor area of more than 1,200 square meters were rehabilitated. The rehabilitated area that was inaugurated will serve as a community space in the Old City of Jerusalem.
