More about the place
Ein Yael is a spring south of Nahal Refaim, on a ridge descending north from Gilo, near the Biblical Zoo. Around it are stone agricultural terraces, and excavations uncovered remains of an ancient farm and a Roman villa with two bathhouses and mosaic floors. The site is run by the Ein Yael organization, which teaches ancient crafts like pottery, weaving, and blacksmithing, and also operates a contemporary art center. Visits are strictly by prior arrangement.
