Google Maps --- Duration 1-2HR?
- UNFORTUNATELY, I arrived at the park 5 minutes before closing and was not allowed in. The above picture is the remains of an Ottoman castle. From what I have seen online, there are remains from the Egyptian and Roman time periods. There is also a small artificial lake.
History
- Afek was one of the cities conquered by Yehoshua ben Nun.
- The Plishtim camped here, before defeating the Jews nearby. In the battle, the Aron HaKodesh was taken, and 34,000 Jews were killed, including Eli HaKohen's 2 sons.
The Mazor Mausoleum, Qula Crusader Fortress, Migdal Tsedek, Eben Ezer, and Tel Afek are near each other.
