The shule ruins are in an extreme corner of the grounds, across a farmer’s field but well worth the hike. Just as in the photo, columns, Aaron kodesh (I presume) and mosaics are present. Dates back to the mid-first century. Oldest European synagogue and second oldest known in Diaspora (Delos is oldest 150 BCE). Need at least 4 hr at this not well-known tourist site.
