Kallirrhoë

Kallirrhoë is located at the hot springs of ‘Ain ez-Zara on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. Herod the Great built a palace along the shore and visited the site just before his death. A smaller Byzantine villa was built over the ruins of Herod’s palace, and the site appears on the mosaic Madaba map. Although poorly preserved, enough of the foundations remain to give the visitor a clear representation of the plan of the place.
