Kever of Rebbe Shimon in Safed.
The location of Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta's Kever was unknown until it was recently discovered by Yisroel Meir Gabbi who found its approximate location after analyzing a number of description found in old texts. According to Gabbi, the Kever of Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta is located right across from the Kever of Rebbe Yehoshua ben Chananya in the ancient cemetery of Safed on the left side of the staircase leading down from the Arizal mikvah. Although its exact location is unknown, Gabbi and his organization Ohali Tzadikim marked its approximate location by painting it blue and putting up a sign.
