11The Caves of Maresha and Bet-Guvrin, Israel
The famous Caves of Maresha and Bet-Guvrin are ensconced in the well-known Judean Lowlands. There are more than 1,000 caves here. Hundreds of them are shaped like bells.
These caves here are man-made. Men once dug through a thick layer of limestone to create them. Due to the many rooms one will find there, this place has been long known as “the city under the city.” It was officially designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. It is truly a spectacular monument to visit.
