Elijah's Cave
The cave, attributed to the Prophet Elijah, is carved into the mountain rock above the junction of the Haifa-Tel Aviv highway and Allenby Street. It is this site that has given Haifa its religious significance for three faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. A modern view holds that Elijah's Cave was sanctified as early as the beginning of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman Empire) period. All three religions ascribe magical powers to the cave, and pilgrims believe that it has healing powers for mental illness and barrenness.
