Tell Qasile, Archaeological site in Tel Aviv District, Israel

The excavation site contains three layered temples and a residential quarter along the Yarkon River, within the grounds of the Eretz Israel Museum.

The location was established as a port city by Philistines in the 12th century BC and became the first archaeological site excavated by Israel in 1948.

The sacred area revealed multiple temples built with sun-dried mud bricks, where numerous offering vessels and religious artifacts were discovered.

Visitors can access Tell Qasile through the Eretz Israel Museum, with adult admission at 52 ILS and free entry for individuals under 18.

Two important ostraca, ancient pottery fragments with Hebrew inscriptions serving as shipping certificates, were discovered at the site in 1945-1946.
