Adullam Grove Nature Reserve, Archaeological site in central Israel.

The Adullam Grove Nature Reserve spans 6.5 square kilometers of Mediterranean forests and woodland terrain south of Beit Shemesh.

The reserve contains multiple archaeological sites, including Horvat Midras, which dates from the 10th century BCE to the 4th century CE.

Ancient Jewish settlements within the reserve feature remnants of synagogues, ritual baths, and burial caves from the Second Temple period.

The Israel Nature and National Parks Protection Authority manages the reserve, which opened in 1994 and expanded in 2004.

Underground hiding tunnels throughout the reserve were used during the Bar Kokhba revolt against Roman forces.
