The Saraya building is a Turkish royalty house which lay on the north-eastern corner of the clock circle in 1987. Before this building it was used as Jaffa's archeology museum but when the city expanded and her walls were ruined the structure that was lest was a glorious building.

The building was built from charity and was design in a classic eastern look. The front has four marble poles, a beautiful entrance with arches from marble. During the British regime the building was used and even in the war of Independence it was used by the arabs. On the 4th of January 1947 a lehi team blue up the building and it was destroyed. Only lately was it renovated.
