Kantara Bridge in Nahal Harod

The Kantara Bridge spans across Nahal Harod stream with three arches, connecting the northern and southern parts of the Beth Shean Valley.

Built during the Mamluk period between 1260 and 1517, the bridge carried an aqueduct system that transported water from Nachal Amal to agricultural lands.

The bridge represents an intersection of engineering methods from different periods, with its original stone arches and later British concrete modifications.

Located near hiking trails and accessible by road, the bridge allows visitors to explore multiple historical structures along the Harod Stream route.

The bridge structure contains elements from three distinct periods: Mamluk stonework, Ottoman engineering, and British Mandate concrete repairs.
