The Good Samaritan Museum is a unique archeological museum displaying a variety of mosaics brought from various sites throughout Judea and Samaria, and others. Prominent in the mosaic collection is the floor mosaic at the entrance, uncovered at a synagogue in the Gaza Strip and brought to the museum.<\/p>\n

The museum is located at a historical site with a mosaic dating back to the 1st<\/sup> century, where a castle of the Herodian Dynasty was revealed. In biblical times, the site marked the border between the territories of the Judah and Benjamin tribes. In Christianity, the site is related to the Good Samaritan parable, considered a symbol of fraternity and friendship among human beings.<\/p>\n

The museum displays various artifacts found in Jewish synagogues, Samaritan synagogues and several churches. In addition, it presents ancient cave dwellings, water cisterns and a reconstructed Byzantine church.<\/p>\n
