Tzipori (Sepphoris) National Park

Historical Sites in Beit She'an & the Valleys

On the hill of Tzipori (Sepphoris), which is located in the Lower Galilee region, are found the remains of a magnificent city which include an intricate set of streets, public structures, residential buildings, synagogues and churches, most of which are from the Roman and Byzantine periods. Today, the site of Tzipori (Sepphoris) is a National Park which preserves structures, such as: the huge Roman Theater which was built on the slope from where are seen the views of the Beit Netofa Valley and the mountains of the Upper Galilee region; a residential area from the Jewish Mishnah and Talmud period (1st-6th centuries CE); the impressive Crusader fortress situated at the top of the hill; the Roman Villa which was built at the beginning of the 3rd century CE and contains mosaic illustrations devoted to Dionysus, the god of wine; and a vast underground water system which was built in the 1st century CE. In the revealed structures of Tzipori (Sepphoris), among which is an ancient synagogue, are found magnificent colorful mosaic floors.
