The Katzrin ancient village and synagogue (Hebrew: קצרין העתיקה; also Qasrin and Kasrin, from the Arabic Qisrin[1]) is an open-air museum located in the Golan Heights on the outskirts of the Israeli settlement of Katzrin. It features the partially reconstructed remains of a village from the 4th-8th century CE, that is: mainly from the Byzantine period, but starting from the Late Roman and extending into the Early Muslim era (Rashidun and Umayyad periods), or in Jewish terms from the Talmudic period.[1][2]
