Sebastia, a village northwest of Nablus, preserves an extraordinary palimpsest of civilizations. The site features a Roman forum, a colonnaded street, a Byzantine basilica, and a Crusader cathedral built atop earlier structures. Visitors can explore the acropolis with its temple to Augustus, and walk through the remains of a Roman theater. The blend of architectural styles and the panoramic views make it a compelling stop for history enthusiasts.
