Ma’dabā (or Medeba in the OT)




Near Mt. Nebo, this ancient city is best known today for the mosaic map of Jerusalem now found of in the floor of a church built to enclose it. This map, the oldest known map of the Holy Land, is incomplete but still shows detail that would have been essential knowledge for pilgrims to the Holy Land.
