History buffs will be excited to learn that the history of Hazor goes back many years and is full of intriguing facts.

Biriya Fortress
Galilee

Biriya Fortress is one of the most important sites of the Israeli cultural heritage. Despite the land being owned by KKL- the Jewish National Fund, the British attempted to prevent Jewish settlement there at the end of the mandate. A fascinating site that serves as a museum housing intriguing exhibits is a result of a joint effort between KKL- the Jewish National Fund, the Council for Conservation of Heritage Sites in Israel, and the Association for the Reconstruction and Restoration of the Biriya Fortress.

The Church of the Beatitudes

This Roman Catholic church located on the Mount of Beatitudes, on a small hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee, the traditional "mount" on which Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount. The current church sits uphill from the ruins of a small Byzantine-era church dating to the late 4th century, which contains a rock-cut cistern beneath it and the remains of a small monastery. The modern church, designed by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi, was built between 1936 and 1938 near the site of the fourth-century Byzantine ruins.

"Beit Hameiri" Museum in Safed
Galilee

At the edge of the Old Jewish Quarter of Safed stands a historic three-storeyed stone house with strange mazes and passages, which hides the life story of the Jews of Safed in the past two centuries. The world of the Jewish community with all its groups and factions is conveyed through the fascinating story of Safed’s elderly, clothing objects, pieces of furniture, housewares, work tools and holy artefacts, all made by one man of Safed – Yehezkel Hameiri (1934-1989), who established a unique museum in his beloved city, dedicated to Safed and its people. The building is one of a handful of remnants from the ancient kernel of Safed and houses nine exhibition areas at different levels, built in various periods and for various purposes. On the lower-level residential buildings from the 16th century have survived, as well as a Jewish ritual bath (Mikveh). The house has two large halls, which used the Sephardic Rabbinical court in the mid-19th century. Above the halls lies the Boys School, built at the end of that century. Among the courtyards, nooks and crannies are quarried water wells and ancient grapevines.
