Corazim synagogue by Anita363

Corazim synagogue

The rock here is basalt, very hard and difficult to work. Nevertheless, the synagogue was richly decorated with beautiful carvings. It dates from the early 4th century CE, with restoration work in the 6th (after an earthquake).

Olive mill, Corazim by Anita363

Olive mill, Corazim

Olives have been a key source of nonperishable calories for those living in Mediterranean climates for many millennia. They were milled with this stone & then transferred to the press.

The town here was settled in the 1st or 2nd century CE, but most of it dates from the 3rd & 4th century, with restoration work in the 6th (after an earthquake).
