Mini Israel is a miniature park located in Latrun, just off the main highway from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The site features over 350 beautifully crafted exact-replica models, of historical, religious, archeological and modern sites.

The Park displays hundreds of models that are exact copies of sites, buildings and landscapes from around the country. The models are built at a scale of 1:25, which means that every real meter is scaled down to 4 cm.

I selected to present a few of the models from the park. The first large picture from each slide is the miniature and the next picture is the real thing.
