Poria Farm, Heritage site in Poria Illit, Israel.
Poria Farm sits along the southwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee with original basalt stone houses and agricultural grounds. The buildings and land spread across multiple acres with structures preserved from the founding period.
Jewish immigrants established the settlement in 1912, but it was abandoned during World War I. The Noar HaOved movement revived it in 1940.
The site reflects how early Jewish settlers lived and worked in northern Israel. The preserved buildings and equipment give a sense of their daily agricultural life.
The site is accessible by regular bus services from Tiberias, with the journey taking about 20 minutes. Good footpaths and clear landmarks help visitors navigate the grounds.
The property contains 65 land plots that belonged to Jewish families who perished in the Holocaust. These plots preserve the memory of their history and loss.
