Khirbat Al-Burj, Archaeological caravanserai in Binyamina, Israel

The stone structure of Khirbat Al-Burj contains remains from multiple periods, including Byzantine ceramics and a building with Greek inscriptions dating back to the Crusader era.

The Ottoman-period caravanserai at Khirbat Al-Burj served as accommodation for travelers and later housed German Kaiser Wilhelm II during his 1898 visit to the Holy Land.

The site transformed from a Palestinian village to an agricultural settlement, reflecting the changing demographics and land ownership patterns in early 20th century Palestine.

The renovated building now functions as an event venue, accessible through major highways and marked routes leading to the archaeological site in Binyamina.

Archaeological excavations in 2009 revealed substantial evidence of Byzantine occupation, including ceramic artifacts from the 5th to 7th centuries CE.
