Chorazin

The excavated ruins contain stone structures, ancient streets, and residential buildings constructed with local black basalt stone spread across multiple levels.

This settlement from the 3rd century CE features a synagogue with ornate carvings, demonstrating architectural techniques of the Talmudic period.

The remains of ritual baths, olive presses, and decorated stone items provide evidence of daily Jewish life during the Roman and Byzantine periods.

The site opens from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.

Archaeologists discovered a rare Medusa figure carved in stone within the synagogue, indicating connections between Jewish and Greco-Roman artistic traditions.
