A city turned Necropolis, a burial city. We will see part of hundreds of Sarcophagi in the numerous burial caves in this area. Here also lies Judah haNasi, leader of the Sanhedrin in Beit She'arim and Tzipori.
Beit She'arim is also home to the famous statue of Alexander Zeid, founder of Hashomer, a Jewish defense organization, to safeguard the Jewish agricultural settlements in Palestine. He was murdered on this land.
