Deir Aziz Ancient synagogue, Ancient synagogue ruins in Golan Heights, Israel.
The rectangular basilica structure, measuring 11 by 18 meters, features walls constructed of carefully cut ashlar stones and contains a central prayer hall.
Archaeological excavations between 1998 and 2004 uncovered hundreds of coins beneath the floor, dating to the reign of Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century.
The synagogue includes a dedicated niche in the southern wall for housing the Torah Ark, demonstrating traditional Jewish religious architectural elements.
The archaeological site is located two kilometers southeast of Moshav Kanaf, near the Kanaf spring that supplied water to the ancient settlement.
A Greek inscription reading AZIZO on one window connects the current name of the site to its original Talmudic settlement designation.
