About Beit Guvrin National Park
Beit Guvrin-Maresha National Park is a national park in the Judaean Foothills of central Israel, containing a large network of caves recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The national park includes the remains of two historical towns. The first, Maresha, was an important town of the Kingdom of Judah during the First Temple period, which later continued through the Persian and Hellenistic periods and came to be inhabited largely by Idumeans. It is located in the southern part of the park.
