[edit] Kever Rabbi Chiya From the Zohar

Rabbi Chiya is buried under the new industrial zone of Safed, above Wadi Amud. Although Rabbi Chaim Vital describes the location of the Kever based on the words of the Arizal, its location was lost over the years. Yisroel Meir Gabbai and Ohalei Tzadikim say they have identified the correct location of the Kever based on their research.
