Parks & Nature
Dug into the slopes of Mount Arbel are caves which were the hideouts for the Jews who fought against the Greeks and Romans. These were extended in the 17th century by the Druze, but the original caves are documented to date back to the Second temple period. Josephus writes about the Roman conquest of some of the last Hasmonean rebels who dwelt in the cliffs of Mount Arbel. As well as the cliffs, Arbel houses an ancient synagogue, the ruins of which can be seen today. Interestingly this it the only synagogue in the world in which the ark does not face Jerusalem.
