Mazor Mausoleum

The Mazor Mausoleum stands at 4.8 meters tall, featuring robust stonework and two chambers with remnants of ancient sarcophagi inside the structure.

Built around 250 CE for a Roman official and his wife, the mausoleum represents one of the most intact Roman-era buildings in Israel.

During the Early Muslim period, the structure was converted into an Islamic shrine with the addition of a mihrab on its southern wall.

The mausoleum sits at an elevation of 75 meters and is now part of a national park maintained by Israel's National Parks Authority.

The eastern chamber contains a columbarium used for storing funeral urns, while numerous burial caves surround the main structure.
