Meron - Synagogue

To the north of the Tomb of Simeon in Meron are the remains of a synagogue of the third or fourth century which is also associated with the name of Simeon Bar Yohai. Of this building, which originally measured 27m/88ft by 13.5m/44ft, there survives little but the main front, facing south. It was divided into three aisles by two rows of eight columns.
