This spectacular tel is one of the most extensively excavated archaeological sites in the Middle East. When Saul and Jonathan died nearby Mount Gilboa, their bodies were displayed on the walls of this city.
The large mound in the distance is the Old Testament city. In the foreground, excavated ruins include the remains from the Roman period when Jesus lived nearby. At least 18 layers of civilization were discovered in the tel.
