• An iron Age burial cave (2,800 years old);
• A secret hiding cave from the Bar Kochba revolt (1,850 years old);
• A jewish burial cave from the Byzantine period (1500 years old).

THE FALLAHIN'S CAVE - an authentic dwelling cave, in use until the War of independence (1948). The cave has been renovated and reconstructed in exact detail, and it contains authentic articles typical of the life of its former Fallahin (peasant) inhabitants.
