About Zippori
In the Roman and Byzantine periods Zippori was one of the most important cities in the Galilee. Rabbi Yehudah Hanasi wrote the Mishna (the text to which the Talmud is a commentary) here in the 2nd century. Later on it was the site of a Crusader fortress, and today there is a village nearby with the same name. Much of the city has been excavated, and you can walk down ancient streets and enter houses to look at often very beautiful mosaics. The city is located on a hill with views of the surrounding area. Hence its name: "zippor" is Hebrew for "bird", and it is said that the city perches on the hilltop like a bird.
