The Tomb of the Prophet Samuel is the traditional burial site of the biblical Samuel, just north of Jerusalem. The tomb is located in an underground chamber inside a small synagogue in the 18th century Nabi Samwil Mosque, built on the remains of a Crusader-era fortress. Archaeological excavations have uncovered a Hellenistic residential area established in the second century BCE by either Seleucid King Antiochus III or Antiochus IV.
