Outside the park on the northern end of the beach is the well-preserved Roman tomb, believed to have been built for a wealthy Greek family during the 3rd century AD. The frescoes adorning its interior depict scenes from classical mythology and remain in remarkably good condition. You will have to unbolt a waist-high red iron door to get in. Close it on your way out: sand from the beach corrodes the paintings. (Tomb open Sun.-Fri. 9am~lpm, Sat. 10am-2pm. Free.)

When you’re in Zephaniah Sq. pop your head into the Antiquities Courtyard for about a minute. You might just find a sarcophagus or two inside. Migdal has a few old stone houses dating back to its Arab period. The Arabs of Migdal are descendants of slaves brought there by the Turkish pashas of Akko and Jaffa in the 19th century, their purpose to dig for rumored buried treasure. The Israeli infatuation with the midrahov has made its way to this tiny old neighborhood; the pedestrian mall is on Herzl St. and serves as the main shopping district of town, ripening into a fruit and vegetable shuk on Mondays and Wednesdays, and evolving into a lively produce, clothing, and jewelry market on Thursdays. Walk north on Herzl St. just past Tzahal St., and you’ll see the market in the narrow passageway to your left. Bus #4, 5, or 7 will take you to Migdal. The walk down Eli Cohen St. takes 25 minutes and passes through open fields.
