En Hemed in Wikipedia
Ein Hemed is a national park and nature reserve in the hills
seven kilometers west of Jerusalem, Israel. It is also known
by its Latin name Aqua Bella. The park is located on the
path of an old Roman road, also used in later periods,
called Emmaus by the Crusaders. The road connected the
coastal plain with the Jerusalem hills.
History
Vaulted hall
The Kingdom of Jerusalem build fortresses along the road to
Jerusalem in order to control the traffic to Jerusalem, and
protect pilgrims visiting the Holy City. Farms were built
using the spring water for irrigation. Impressive ruins of a
30x40 meter Crusader structure, whose southern wall survives
to a height of 12 meters, are located on the north site of
the riverbed. The building has several gates and two arched
halls. The building was known in Arabic as Deir al Benat
(Monastery of the Daughters). Archeological investigations
indicate that it was built in 1140-1160, during the reign of
Fulk of Jerusalem, in the same period as the fortresses on
Tzova and Emmaus. South of the building are a nature reserve
and a Muslim cemetery...
