Ancient bathhouse and winery discovered in Jerusalem

The find was made prior to construction of homes for city's ultra-Orthodox population


Archaeologists digging in central Jerusalem ahead of the construction of residential buildings for the city's ultra-Orthodox community have discovered a "large and impressive" winery and bathhouse believed to be at least 1,600 years old, Israel's Antiquities Authority declared on Wednesday.

The Roman or Byzantine era find, which was uncovered in the Schneller Compound, included a complex pressing surface paved with a white mosaic which allowed for the "extracting the maximum amount of must from the grapes" and had eight storage facilities for additional grapes.

According to the IAA, the winery is believed to have "served the residents of a large manor house whose inhabitants made their living by, among other things, viticulture and wine production."
