Israel South District
Beit Guvrin
A historical city in Israel's South District, home to a national park featuring bell-shaped caves and archaeological remains.
Tips from the community
Biet Kurven National Park is located about 60km south of Jerusalem and encompasses the remains of the ancient city, Tel Maresha. While the area’s history is a little rocky (pun absolutely intended), the park’s incredible network of caves and underground cities attracts almost a million visitors each year.
Pro tip: All of the park’s caves are worth exploring, but the Bell Caves are the main reason visitors come here. There are over 800 of them, and most are linked by secret underground tunnels.
