Wikipedia description:
Omrit (Hebrew: חורבת עומרית, romanized: Horvat Omrit), or Khirbat ‘Umayrī (Arabic name), is the site of an ancient Roman temple. It stands where the western slopes of the Golan Heights meet the Upper Jordan Valley, in the 1949 Israel–Syria demilitarised zone. It is believed that Omrit was built by Herod the Great in honor of Augustus around 20 BCE. The site was destroyed in the Galilee earthquake of 363; a small chapel was later built on its ruins in the Byzantine period.
