The pillars of Chorazin Synagogue (late 3rd or early 4th cent. AD). There were 12 pillars of which only 5 remains intact today. The pillars were arranged in the shape of 'U', dividing the main hall of the synagogue to a central nave and three narrow aisles. Two tiers of benches for worshippers lined the walls. The synagogue is 23 meters long and 17 meters wide.
