Bet She'arim National Park

A vast Jewish necropolis southeast of Haifa, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015. Developed from the 2nd century AD as the primary Jewish burial place outside Jerusalem after the Bar Kokhba revolt, it is the largest necropolis in the Levant with at least 30 underground catacombs. The burial of Rabbi Judah the Patriarch -- compiler of the Mishna -- drew Jews from across the diaspora to inter their dead here. Nearly 300 inscriptions in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Palmyrene adorn the catacomb walls.
