ISRAEL

This cover from Israel depicts a single stamp celebrating the World Heritage Site Caves of Maresha and Bet-Guvrin in the Judean Lowlands as a Microcosm of the Land of the Caves. Beit Guvrin-Maresha National Park is a national park in central Israel, containing a large network of caves recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 2014. The national park includes the remains of the historical towns of Maresha, one of the important towns of Judah during the First Temple Period, and Bayt Jibrin, a depopulated Palestinian town known as Eleutheropolis in the Roman era.
