Hisham's Palace , also known as Khirbat al-Mafjar, is an important early Islamic archaeological site in the Palestinian city of Jericho, in the West Bank. Built by the Umayyad dynasty in the first half of the 8th century, it is one of the so-called Umayyad desert castles. It is located 3 km north of Jericho's city center, in an area governed by the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).

Spreading over 60 hectares (150 acres), the site consists of three main parts: a palace, an ornate bath complex, and an agricultural estate. Also associated with the site is a large park or agricultural enclosure (ḥayr) which extends east of the palace. The entire complex - palace, baths, and farm - was connected by an elaborate water system to nearby springs.

The palace, bath complex, and external mosque are enclosed by a retaining wall. The southern gate was known from Baramki's excavations, but the recent discovery of a northern gate in alignment indicates that the development of Hisham's Palace was conceived of as a complete unit to be constructed at once.

Old City Wall - Jaffa Gate to Damascus Gate 

# data[].body.value
Jaffa Gate to Damascus Gate - Old City Wall, lookout point.

Every image of the Old City of Jerusalem, with its rising steeples and domes, is dominated by the fortress-like walls that surround its four quarters. Religious and historical texts refer to defensive walls surrounding the city in some form or another since ancient times. The walls that standing today were built during the 16th century by Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The walls run a length of over 4,000 meters and stand at an average of 12 meters high. Along the wall are 34 watchtowers and seven main gates, six of them from the 16th century construction, with New Gate added later in the 19th century. Along with the Old City itself, the walls were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1980s.

Although the shape and scope of the walls of the Old City has shifted throughout time, there are references to a settlement with defensive walls on what would become Jerusalem as far back as the 14th century BCE. According to Jewish tradition fortification walls were built during the time of the first temple and stood until the destruction of the city by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in 587 BCE. The walls then went through periods of destruction and reconstruction throughout history from the Romans to the Crusaders. It was between 1537 and 1541 under the leadership of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent that the walls seen today were finally constructed on the remains of these more ancient remains. During the British Mandate period in the early 20th century, the walls were cleaned and restored and the addition of the ‘green belt’ area surrounding parts of the wall’s exterior was added.

Visitors to the Old City of Jerusalem have the unique opportunity to walk along these walls and take in the sights of Jerusalem from atop the fortress. Tickets for the Ramparts Walk are available from the ticket office near Jaffa Gate and from there travelers can set out from Jaffa Gate along two routes – the northern or the southern route. The northern route follows the Christian and Muslim Quarters, passing New Gate, Damascus Gate, Herod’s Gate and Lions Gate. The southern route is shorter and takes visitors by the Armenian Quarter before ending in the Jewish Quarter, passing over Zion Gate. From the walls, visitors can get a different perspective on the sites of the Old City and take in the amazing views of the areas surrounding the walls.

Tell Al-Far'a is located in the Al-Far'a region, 1 km south of the Al-Far'a refugee camp, and the area is about 180 dunums. It rises about 198 meters above sea level. It was mentioned in surveys in western Palestine by the French Victor Guérin, and the British Edward Robinson. The site dates back to several different periods starting from the Neolithic Age, the Copper Stone Age, the Bronze, and ending with the Iron Ages. Excavations at the site began by the French mission of the French School of Archeology in Jerusalem (École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem), under the supervision of Ronald de Vaux. The excavations occurred at the site between 1946 and 1960 in nine seasons. The work of the French mission at the site revealed a layer dating back to the early Bronze Age, such as walls, fortifications, some residential buildings, a two-room pottery oven, a temple, and an olive press, in addition to the western gate of the site. In October 2016, a new excavation project was announced at Tell Al-Far'a, in partnership between the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the University of Lisbon in Portugal, and the University of Corna in Spain. The project aims to study urban development at the site, and the archaeological and cultural layers at the site.

An archaeological tower located on the top of a hill north of the village of Al-Far'a, and it is more than 10 meters high. The northeastern part is partially ruined. It is built of massive stones whose dimensions range between (1 x 1.5) m. It consists of two floors, and is believed to have been used as a military point in the Crusader and Ayyubid period. It was described by surveys in western Palestine in 1882 AD by Conder and Kitchener, as a square-shaped tower built on a hill in the Far'a region. In the tower area and from the north and west sides, there are many cuttings in the rock and the tombs. Around the tower, they found many pottery dating back to the Byzantine, Roman, and Islamic periods.

It is located to the southeast of Tubas, about three and a half km away from it, with an area of about 32 dunums, and it is 439 meters above sea level. The area of the Byzantine settlement is between (6-8 dunums), and there are many buildings, squares, and arcades belonging to this period, in addition to some areas of quarries. As for the ruin area, it dates back to the previous periods, and it is much larger than the Byzantine area; where remains of fortifications appear with huge stones most likely dating back to the first Iron Age. In the western part of these fortifications, there is some evidence of an entrance, and on the northern and southern slopes of the ruin, there is a significant number of remains of buildings and pottery. There is a lot of distinctive pottery on the perimeter at the site's lower part; there is a group of 6 rounded stones, ranging in diameter between (20-40) cm, which are distributed around the site and stand erect like columns. The ruin was mentioned in surveys in western Palestine and Guérin's writings. The results of the surveys showed that the ruin dates back to the Iron Age, the Byzantine period, the early Islamic period, and the Middle Ages.

It is the remains of a destroyed medium village, with an area of about 20 dunums and a height of about 130 meters above sea level. It is located between Tammun and al-Bikai'a. Most of the architectural remains date back to the Middle Ages, and there is evidence dating back to the Iron Age, the Byzantine period, and the early Islamic period. The remains of about 20 archaeological monuments of buildings are visible on the surface of the ruin, with the remnants of the roofs that still retain their external appearance. Still, it isn't easy to date them accurately according to the building style, and there are the remains of some houses and yards belonging to them. In addition to some caves, cut-in rocks, and cemeteries, there is also a large agricultural area belonging to the ruin with an area of about 50 dunums, containing irrigation pools estimated at 70-80 agricultural pools. This area may have been used to grow sugar cane or other crops. Also, it was mentioned in the surveys of western Palestine in 1882, by Victor Guérin.

Fatima Khatun Mosque (Jenin Grand Mosque, The Great Mosque)

# data[].body.value
The mosque is in the center of Jenin, west of the Al-Saraya building. This mosque was built at the end of the reign of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent around the year 974 AH, corresponding to 1566 AD, by order of Mrs. Fatima Khatoun, the daughter of Abi al-Fadl Muhammad bin Sultan Qansuh al-Ghuri, and the wife of the Bosnian Sultan Lala Mustafa Pasha. From the west, the mosque is bordered by the Ain Nini Canal (after the spring dried up, the vegetable market (Al-Hisba) was established), from the east by the road leading to the city of Nazareth, from the north by a secondary road from Nazareth Street, and from the west by the street heading to the city of Haifa.During Mrs. Khatun's visit to Palestine, and her passage from the city of Jenin, she admired the location of this mosque and noticed that there was no place for worship, so she ordered to build the mosque. The area of the old building of the mosque is about 200 square meters, and the area of the land surrounding it is about three and a half dunums, and later it was expanded to reach an area of about 1000 square meters.During the construction stages, several additions were attached to the mosque, such as a bakery, a public bath, a water fountain, and a hospice that was converted in subsequent periods into commercial stores. The mosque contains a large dome, considered the second largest in Palestine after the Dome of the Rock. It also includes a library that contains many books, and a chapel for women, and a minaret on the southern side of the building.The mosque's eastern side was damaged during the Battle of Al-Marj in 1799 AD when Napoleon's soldiers bombarded the area with cannons, and in 1927 AD, the mosque building cracked due to the great earthquake that struck Palestine. In the fifties of the last century, the Jenin Municipality expanded and renovated the mosque, removing the Turkish bathhouse and turning its area into a public square. Later this square became used as a vegetable market.

Burqin Church (Saint George, Church of the Ten Lepers)

# data[].body.value
It is considered one of the oldest churches in the world, as after the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of the Byzantine Empire, Helena ordered the construction of this church in the cave in which it is believed that Jesus healed ten leppers.The church was expanded in the sixth and ninth centuries AD, and during the Crusader period, a stone wall was added from the outside, and it was rebuilt again in the eighteenth century.The church contains many rare monuments, such as the patriarch's chair made of stone and dating back to the fourth century AD, which is one of a kind in Palestine, in addition to the baptismal font, which is used to baptize young children and is more than 900 years old, and is located in the well area.The church also includes the Holy of Holies area, which is built of ancient stones in its original location, and dates back more than 900 years, and inside it is the holy structure of Christ, which is more than 250 years old. There are also two holes in the roof of the well, which are believed to have been used to drop food for the ten lepers during the period of Christ, and the holes are still carved on the roof.In 2010, the church authority carried out restoration work on the building. The bodies of three priests and a young child were discovered during this process. By studying these bodies, the period of death was determined to be 500 years ago. Later, two other bodies were found, and all five were buried in a particular grave adjacent to the church's wall from the outside.After this discovery, there were some finds, such as a Bible in Arabic, a wooden cross, lamps dating back to the Roman period, and a ring dating back to the Byzantine period, in addition to flasks containing sacred oil and medals for priests.

This theater was established in 1990 by the peace activist Arna Mer-Khamis, in the Jenin camp, and it was first called the Stone Theater, and it aimed to teach children and educate them about what they suffered after displacement, and about the events they went through from Al-Nakba, and the attacks of the occupation.Several years later, Zakaria Al-Zubaidi contacted Juliano Mer-Khamis, the son of Arna Khamis, to revive the idea, especially since Zakaria was one of the students of the Stone Theater. In 2006, the Freedom Theater was officially opened. This project aimed to create a kind of resistance through art, poetry, and music, intending to convey the voice of Palestine to the world, and that art is one form of resistance.Juliano Khamis was assassinated in front of the Theatre on April 4, 2011. Until now, there are no details about the reason for his assassination, and the case remained open without the presence of an accused or a clear party behind the assassination. Recently, a group of Khamis students performed a play under the title (Stolen Dreams) in memory of their teacher, Khamis.The theater offers a range of activities for the youth through drama workshops. It also provides a three-year theater educational program focusing on acting. This program introduces students to theater methods according to Juliano Khamis's vision.

This theater was established in 1990 by the peace activist Arna Mer-Khamis, in the Jenin camp, and it was first called the Stone Theater, and it aimed to teach children and educate them about what they suffered after displacement, and about the events they went through from Al-Nakba, and the attacks of the occupation.Several years later, Zakaria Al-Zubaidi contacted Juliano Mer-Khamis, the son of Arna Khamis, to revive the idea, especially since Zakaria was one of the students of the Stone Theater. In 2006, the Freedom Theater was officially opened. This project aimed to create a kind of resistance through art, poetry, and music, intending to convey the voice of Palestine to the world, and that art is one form of resistance.Juliano Khamis was assassinated in front of the Theatre on April 4, 2011. Until now, there are no details about the reason for his assassination, and the case remained open without the presence of an accused or a clear party behind the assassination. Recently, a group of Khamis students performed a play under the title (Stolen Dreams) in memory of their teacher, Khamis.The theater offers a range of activities for the youth through drama workshops. It also provides a three-year theater educational program focusing on acting. This program introduces students to theater methods according to Juliano Khamis's vision. The program also aims to use drama as a kind of treatment for the emotional and psychological trauma, due to the practices and barbarism of the Israeli occupation.

It is the oldest mosque in the city of Qalqilya; and the only one that remained until 1961 A.D. when the Mosque of Ali bin Abi Talib was established. In the first phase, the mosque consisted of two large arches. However, in the year 1263 AH, Sheikh Hassan Salih Khair al-Din Sabri expanded the mosque, and added three new iwans (arches) from the southern side of the mosque. This expansion was documented through a stone inscription installed in the mosque, in which the date of construction and some verses of poetry, were engraved on it with the date 1263 AH.In 1302 AH (1884 AD), the District Commissioner of Tulkarm District, Moharam Bek from Sidon, ordered the construction of a school in the northwestern part of the mosque. The village imam, Sheikh Muhammad Hassan Sabri, brother of Sheikh Saleh Sabri, urged the donors to complete this building, and they donated to establish the building. A school for male students was constructed, and for this purpose, a Lebanese teacher named Abd al-Rahman Effendi Salam was asked to teach in that school; they said that he is from the well-known Salam family in Lebanon. He was followed in this mission by another Lebanese named Muhammad Effendi Sinno, who stayed for one year, succeeded by Sheikh Muhammad al-Awartani from Qalqilya, and stayed for seventeen years. In the year 1942 A.D., the mosque was expanded once again; the eastern door was added to the mosque, in addition to taps for ablution. A minaret was added at the northern entrance, and the mosque was expanded from the north side as well by adding two iwans to the mosque after buying the neighboring houses. Outdoor toilets were added to the mosque from the western side, separating it from the street mosque. It was removed later in the seventies of the last century.Nevertheless, in 1956, the two old iwans (the two arches) were demolished because they were lower than the level of the modern building in the mosque, and the building was ancient. Then a new building was built of stone and cement, and the floor level of the building was unified to the same level. Also, the southwestern part was made.

an ancient site that is located one kilometer east of the city center, and currently, the Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh Mosque stands on the site of Sufin. This village was abandoned and destroyed in 1813 AD. The disturbances and conflict between the people of Sufin and the Ottoman Empire, date back to the year 1805 AD when it was bombed for the first time that year by the Ottoman army's cannons, and some of its people had to move to Qalqilya. In 1813 A.D., the governor of the Levant sent his deputy to collect taxes, using violence and force, forcing the Sheikh of the Bani-Saab region, Sheikh Abu Odeh al-Jayyusi, to disobey and break out of the Sublime Porte. He barricaded himself in Sufin Castle and took refuge in it, which prompted Ibrahim Pasha, the deputy governor of the Levant, to besiege Sufin for a long time, he asked the governor of Sidon for support, who fulfilled the Ottoman request, so they stormed Sufin, demolished its houses and castle, killed some of its peoples, and displaced what was left. As for the people of the village, they settled in Qalqilya due to its proximity to their country of origin, and because of the abundance of water and soil fertility. Sufin had about 30 wells, caves, tombs carved into the rock, and mosaic floors, and recently, some relatively modern graves were found, from which the tomb of Sheikh Saleh bin Khairuddin Sabri was known.

The village of Jinsafut is located to the east of Qalqilya, about 16 km away from it, and about 430 meters above sea level, and its land area is about 9356 dunums. Edward Robinson mentioned in 1838 AD that it is one of the villages of Bani Saab, and also mentioned by Victor Guérin the French in 1870 AD as one of the villages of Bani Saab without visiting it, as he described it while he was in Far'ata. In surveys in western Palestine in 1882 AD, it was also mentioned as a small village on a hill containing water wells on its northern side, and olive fields.In 1997, Riwaq documented the old town of Jinsafout, where it counted about 63 historical buildings; most of these buildings are connected (38 buildings), 21 single buildings, 37 buildings used to the present time, and three partially used, and 23 abandoned buildings. The village had about 45 single-story buildings, 13 two-story buildings, and one three-story building. As for the materials used in construction, are limestone and lime mortar, and mud was also used. The ceilings and roofs were built with the cross-contract system for 41 buildings, with a single dome. The flat roofs were also used in 21 buildings, where iron dowels were used in 18 buildings.

The town of Sanniriya is located southeast of Qalqilya Governorate on a hill about 250 meters above sea level. The town dates back to the Mamluk period. Archaeological sites, buildings, and historical sites are spread in the town and its surroundings, most notably the old town. Its most prominent sites are the old mosque and the Roman pools. The Roman pools are located on the town's northern side, and five pools are cut into the rock. The cut stones from the pools were used in the construction of defensive buildings, and fortifications for the sites surrounding the village. These stone quarries were re-used to become pools, to collect winter water in order to provide the population and livestock with their water needs. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, in cooperation with the village council in the town, rehabilitated and highlighted the site of the Roman pools as evidence of the tangible cultural heritage of the Palestinians.

An accumulation of archaeological layers formed an artificial mound dating back to the second Middle Bronze Age. The pile is located in the village of Shweikeh (Shweikeh suburb).The site was mentioned in ancient Egyptian texts. The site contains archaeological evidence, including the city wall on the southern side, where part of the site appears on the outskirts and is preserved next to an industrial facility at the site entrance. Although no excavations have been carried out at the site so far, the surface surveys of the area showed the existence of a stratified sequence at the site through the presence of pottery and cultural remains from the Middle Bronze period, passing through the Iron Age, the Hellenistic, the Roman, Byzantine, early and late Islamic period.

It was noted through the surface survey in the area the presence of pottery pieces dating back to the Roman, Byzantine, Mamluk, and Ottoman periods. It is characterized by the presence of human civilization for long periods, as it is believed that the name of the ruin means the house of the community. Many remains can be found around the area. Among them are the remains of the mosque, and the guest house of the village mayor, in addition to some remnants of other buildings spread over the entire hill, whose area is about 40 dunums.The site was likely abandoned at the end of the Ottoman period due to the Qays–Yaman rivalry. The famous narration mentions that many village houses were burned during the conflict, as the people of Jafa took refuge in neighboring villages. Another narration points out that the migration of the place resulted from the earthquake.

Archaeological evidence and building remains, show that the ruin of Irtah included a public bath building dating back to the Roman period. The bathhouse was subjected to a lot of interference and change during the subsequent eras, especially the Islamic eras, as a result of the addition of the construction of the shrine of the daughters of Jacob on the essential part of the bathhouse building. What is now left of it, is the double pool that used to supply the bathhouse with the necessary water.The water was likely flowing from the pool to the bathhouse through underground clay pipes, relying on the force of gravity to flow. The pool was fed with water from one of the nearby springs, especially since the area of Irtah is famous for its abundance of water and springs throughout history, and up to the present time.Other remnants of the bathhouse are the walls, which appear mainly below the floor level of the shrine. Roman public baths had a unified system of construction, and were an essential part of the urban fabric of Roman cities.The general planning of these baths was based on three main sections: the first is the outer suite (the cold section), usually in the form of a spacious hall dedicated to welcoming the clients, and bathing them at moderate temperatures. The second is the area that mediates the building that includes the shower rooms, which is the thermal bath where the primary shower process takes place. The third section is the hottest (steam room).The room temperature depends on how close or far it is to this boiler, where the process of heating the water, and its temperature relies on burning wood to heat the boiler located at the bottom of the bathhouse floor; a network of pottery pipes was distributed under the bathhouse floors, and inside its walls.
