Katzrin ancient village and synagogue

The excavated village features reconstructed basalt stone buildings, including residential structures and a central synagogue with geometric wall decorations.

The settlement thrived from the 4th to 8th centuries CE, with the synagogue constructed in the 6th century over an earlier 4th-century foundation.

The site contains remains of household items, agricultural tools, and a synagogue with Hebrew inscriptions that demonstrate ancient Jewish community life.

Visitors can explore the reconstructed two-story houses, examine functional wine and olive presses, and learn about ancient farming methods.

The synagogue structure later transformed into a mosque during the Mamluk period, revealing the location's multiple religious transformations.
