Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a series of caches, the issue is - Tegart fortresses.

Old a police station - GEDERA

The forts are named after their designer, British police officer and engineer Sir Charles Tegart. In Israel, the name is often misspelled as "Taggart".[2] This is probably from the compound transliteration of an English name into Hebrew and then back into English.

Sir Charles Tegart designed the forts in 1938 based on his experiences in the Indian insurgency. They were built of reinforced concrete with water systems that would allow them to withstand a month-long siege.[3] Dozens of the structures were built according to the same basic plan, along the so-called "Tegart's wall" of the northern border with Lebanon and Syria, and at strategic intersections in the interior of ISRAEL.

Many of them can still be seen in Israel today, and continue to be used as police stations (REHOVOT) and jails. 

This building that many passengers by daily and not paying attention to him or did not know what it is. Was once a regional policing structure under the rule of the British Mandate.
The building was used until recently as a center for Ethiopian immigrants., And the security forces.
Today the building abandoned and neglected.

Cache itself is located in the courtyard of the main building
