Emmaus Nicopolis

Also known as Amwas, Imwas, Emmaus, Nicopolis

Emmaus Nicopolis, in the Ayalon Valley near Latrun, was one of the traditional sites for the New Testament Emmaus. The Crusaders built a church here in the twelfth century on the ruins of a large Byzantine basilica, reusing Roman and earlier masonry. The remains of both the Crusader and Byzantine churches are preserved in an open-air archaeological park run by a small community near Canada Park.
