This study aims basically at explaining the experience of Palestine in general and that of Nablus in particular in the field of rehabilitating historical buildings as a Palestinian city during the mentioned period, and analyzing that experience to build the primary bases needed for future evaluation. This will direct politics of rehabilitation in Palestine for much better results. The main result of this study proved that there was not a complete or extensive project of rehabilitation in the old city of Nablus, during the mentioned period, but only small projects of maintaining and optimizing the old destroyed buildings. Moreover, there was a very limited number of Rehabilitation projects for some separated but important historical buildings.
