خربا روما

Khirbat Roma is an archaeological site in the Beit Netofa Valley containing residential structures, work areas, and farming facilities scattered across the terrain. The ruins sit on sloping land in northern Galilee and reveal multiple periods of human habitation.

The site was inhabited from Hellenistic times through the Islamic period, with significant occupation during Roman rule. Archaeologists have found evidence that residents rebuilt and adapted their structures over many generations.

The site reflects daily life in an ancient Jewish settlement, visible in the household structures and work areas scattered across the ruins. Objects left behind show how residents managed their homes and crafts during Roman times.

The terrain is generally accessible but requires care on uneven ground and around old stone structures. Sturdy shoes and water are essential, especially during warm weather and in sunnier seasons.

In one corner of the site stand two ancient burial caves containing stone sarcophagi, revealing how residents buried their dead. These tombs are uncommon findings that shed light on burial practices from that era.
