Mary's Well, Historic water spring in Nazareth, Israel.
This water source features a rectangular stone structure measuring 27 meters in length, 4 meters in width, and rises 9 meters from ground level.
Archaeological excavations near the spring revealed evidence of continuous water usage from Byzantine times through the Crusader period and into modern times.
Local residents gathered at this communal water source until 1966, filling their water pitchers and exchanging news about daily life in Nazareth.
The spring system connects to underground passages and natural water sources, delivering water through pipes from three different points within the cave structure.
The water emerges from a natural white rock cave measuring 4 meters in diameter and 3 meters in height, with the strongest flow coming from northeast.
