One of the popular Acre Tours is the Day Tours to Yodefat. The ancient city of Yodefat is situated in central Galilee. It is on top of a hill 419 meters above sea level. The hill is surrounded by deep valleys on all sides. It is an ancient city and has been a fortress from the time of Joshua. The town was captured in 723 BCE by Tiglath Pileser III. The Day Tours to Yodefat will show you all the important historical features of the city.
During the Second Temple period it was an important Jewish town. While taking the Yodefat Day Tours you can see the remains of the city. Several excavations took place during 1992 and 1998. The excavations uncovered Hellenistic and Roman period buildings and fortifications. Also evidence of the city’s destruction during the Jewish revolt against Rome was discovered. The History of Yodefat goes back to the Hellenistic periods (3rd-2nd centuries BCE).
The Day Tours to Yodefat will show you the remains of the wall built under the Hasmonean rule in the 1st century BCE. A new wall was built during the Early Roman Period (end of 1st century BCE- beginning of the 1st century BCE) which increased the town’s area to 13 acres. Another highlight of the Yodefat Tours are the Residential Quarters of the town. The residential areas are densely built up and date back to the early Roman period. Important feature are that the houses were built on terraces and the rooms were built as steps, with each room higher than the other.
The Roman army under Vespasian who later became Emperor of Rome besieged the city. You can see the remains of the Roman siege camps, iron arrowheads, ballista stones and human remains while taking the Day Tours to Yodefat.
