JABOTINSKY PARK & SHUNI FORTRESS

This pleasant park, named in honor of the Zionist Zeev Jabotinsky (1880-1940), lies to the north of Binyamina, where a flourishing Roman settlement once stood. Here you can visit a caravanserai built during the Ottoman period (^18th c.): between 1914 and 1947, the Shuni fortress served as a base for Jewish pioneers and later Irgun members. The Shuni Archaeological Museum regularly organizes exhibitions and concerts in the admirably preserved Roman amphitheatre.
