The District of Nazareth
 
Saffuriyya

Only a few houses remain on the site. Otherwise the site is covered by a pine forest planted by the Jewish National Fund to commemorate a number of persons and occasions,  such as Guatemala’s independence day . Zahir al -Umar’s fortress still stands atop the hill, though some of its walls have collapsed. Along the southern road to the village there is a synagogue that was originally a Muslim shrine. Next to it lies a recent Israeli cemetery.
