The traces of Gamla's synagogue are especially attractive.
It was a fancy building, located at the town's entrance. Apparently, the
synagogue was established in the first century A. D., when the Temple
still existed, and it is one of the most ancient synagogues discovered in
Israel. Inside the synagogue, many catapults and arrow heads were found, indicating
that the tough battles came through the doors of the synagogue as well. In the hall of
the synagogue were traces indicating that there were refugees who lived there
during the time of besiegement. Near the synagogue, a ritual bath was
discovered, which served the people of the town.
