At The Samaritan Museum, get to know the history of one of the oldest religions and its believers. Today, fewer than 800 belong to this ethnoreligious group. Join the tour around the site led by a good Samaritan, who'll show you the exhibits, providing explanations and background about the general culture. Pay attention to the copy of a Torah scroll, more than 150 years old, among other artifacts connected to the people and their past.
