Tomb of Maimonides, Medieval tomb site in Tiberias, Israel
The memorial features 14 stone columns representing sections of Mishneh Torah, with a metal structure symbolizing a crown above the burial chamber.
Following his death in Egypt in 1204, Maimonides' remains were transported to Tiberias according to his wishes to be buried in the Land of Israel.
The tomb serves as a significant center for Jewish learning, where visitors study Maimonides' philosophical and medical texts while paying respects.
The memorial site remains open 24 hours daily, includes accessible paths, organized parking areas, and provides prayer books for visitors.
Egyptian scholar Jamal al-Din al-Qifti documented the tomb's location in Tiberias in 1225, confirming its authenticity through historical records.
