Archaeological sites in the Northern District

Tel Hazor and Tel Megiddo are also major archaeological sites in the Northern District. Tel Hazor is a biblical tell with significant remains of a city associated with biblical references; the visit focuses on the upper city. Solomon’s Gate has six chambers and two towers and dates to the 10th century BCE. The Canaanite palace was used by the kings of Hazor in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE. The Late Bronze Age palace is considered the most elaborate in Israel and one of the most significant in the Levant.

Tel Hazor’s water system includes significant remains of an underground water-collection system, an ingenious engineering achievement for storing water that was adapted to the geographic conditions. The excavated shaft is 45 meters deep, with three-meter-wide steps cut into its vertical walls. Tel Hazor’s fortifications are also considered the finest example of their kind in the area from southern Turkey to the northern Negev.

Tel Megiddo is one of three tells that preserve significant remains of cities associated with biblical references and are closely linked to events in the Bible. The Early Bronze Age temple complex is exceptional in terms of the number of its temples, the continuity of cult activity and the documented ritual practices. The orthogonal Iron Age city plan has few parallels in the Levant.

The two archaeological sites highlight different features: Tel Hazor includes water storage, gate construction and fortifications, while Tel Megiddo offers a perspective on early temple complexes and Iron Age urban planning.
