Rosh Mia Fortress - an ancient crusader fortress in the heart of Haifa | A photographed trip in Haifa

1. It's a lovely site, you just need to preserve it, and before that, clean it of all debris and prevent vandalism.
   The location in the heart of a quiet residential neighborhood makes the citadel even more attractive, a piece of local history that is integrated into the present.

2. I wonder if the residents of the neighborhood, which is considered very quiet, are interested in a small archaeological plot in the heart of their forest becoming a mass tourist center. The answer is probably no.

3. Shame on the municipality. How everything is neglected and crumbling.

4. Thanks for the exposure, it's a shame that Haifa neglects the sites
   Mia Tel Shekmona Citadel and other sites.
   Israelis go abroad to visit and we have neglected treasures here.

5. to ziad,
   I do not intend to be dragged into a political debate about who has the right to the land in general or to a neglected antiquities site in the heart of a residential neighborhood in particular.
   You too, in my opinion, would not want a tourist site to be built in the backyard of your house, even if my ancestors lived there 5000 years ago.

6. To Yitzchak Tzur - who was there before?

7. Mr. Karmi,
   Have you asked yourself if the desire of the residents of the neighborhood is to turn this lovely place in the heart of the neighborhood into a tourist destination?
   After all, the neighborhood suffers from a parking shortage as entrances and exits from it are limited (see the entry of a fire in Carmel).
   Turning the place into a tourist site is intolerable in my opinion.

8. Atari Shekmona is an even bigger scandal and with it the ruins of the monks in Wadi Shikh, the orchard and the stairs to it. It's just like you described wanting tourism and not investing in any tourist site!
   Instead of making any such place a mandatory site, everything is closed, locked and neglected. Not only in Haifa will you see what is happening with the church mosaic in Megiddo, a site that could attract hundreds of thousands of visitors.

9. Maybe you should bring a note from an archaeologist saying that there is a synagogue there.
   Within a week they will find a budget. . .

10. What is the exact address of the site?

11. Well, what will?

12. Very nice

13. I think it's bullshit.
    Both closed and neglected with waste scattered there.

14. Beautiful. Impressive. Great photos. Have a good week
