Its location allowed it to control the outlet of the Iron Valley (Wadi Ara) to the Jezreel Valley and the Via Maris (the Way of the Sea), an international trade route that linked the ancient world's centers of culture and power - Egypt and Mesopotamia. Some of the most impressive archaeological remains in the country have been unearthed in the extensive excavations that have been taking place here for more than a century. They attest to the city's eminence, particularly during the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The Canaanite city gate - Flanked by four chambers, the gate was built during the Late Canaanite period (the Late Bronze Age). At that time, the city was not fortified, which meant that the gate was ceremonial rather than defensive - it served as the entrance to the palace complex of that period. During its last phase, when ovens were built in its chambers, the gate probably served as a kind of service wing of the palace. The gate went out of use after the palace was burned at the end of the Late Canaanite period.\n
