Mount Tzuba, Mountain and national park in Jerusalem Hills, Israel.
Mount Tzuba rises in the Jerusalem Mountains, featuring Mediterranean plant life including extensive populations of Kermes Oak throughout its slopes and valleys.
The mountain area contains remains of the Crusader fortress Belmont, constructed as a defensive position to control the route between Jaffa and Jerusalem.
The Cave of John the Baptist beneath Mount Tzuba contains Byzantine era artwork depicting scenes from the religious figure's life from the fourth century.
Visitors can access Mount Tzuba through the Harel interchange from Route 1, following marked signs to reach designated parking areas near Kibbutz Tzuba.
The mountain features a network of ancient water systems, including tunneled springs that lead to indoor pools used during the Second Temple period.
