Talpiot (Hebrew: תלפיות, literally 'turrets' or 'magnificently built') is an Israeli neighborhood in southeastern Jerusalem, established in 1922 by Zionist pioneers. It was built as a garden suburb on land purchased by the Tel Aviv-based Palestine Land Development Company and other Jewish building societies.[1]

Talpiot has become a major commercial center and a hub of nonprofit organizations.[2] The Talpiot industrial zone is one of the largest in the country, with plans for expansion as a center of shopping, entertainment and industry.[3]
