Hunin castle, known as Chateau Neuf in the historical record, is poorly preserved and never excavated, but it has one of the best examples of a dry moat, which protects its northern site. From the castle one gets a beautiful view of the Hulah valley below and the snow-capped peaks of Mt. Hermon in the distance.
Bet Yerah is better known for its Early Bronze granary, but unfortunately that structure is no longer visible. What has been preserved on the site is a typical basilical church.
Get out your passport, pack your bags, and take a tour of these two new sites in the project.
