Judea

The landscape of Judea extends from Jerusalem to Beersheba, featuring mountains that rise to 2500 feet with deep valleys and limestone formations.

During the 10th century BCE, King David established Jerusalem as the capital of Judea, which remained the center of Jewish governance until 587 BCE.

The region contains numerous archaeological sites, ancient synagogues, and religious structures that reflect centuries of Jewish presence and traditions.

Modern Judea includes multiple nature reserves, hiking paths, and historical sites connected by a network of roads leading to Jerusalem.

The Judean Mountains contain hundreds of natural caves, which served as habitation sites and storage spaces throughout different historical periods.
