Tel Ashdod, Archaeological site in Southern District, Israel.
Tel Ashdod rises 50 meters above sea level, containing multiple archaeological layers from different civilizations near the Mediterranean coast.
The settlement experienced two major uprisings against Assyrian occupation during the reign of Sargon II between 722 and 705 BC.
Tel Ashdod includes remains of a palace structure with thick walls made of square bricks, built upon a foundation of sun-dried materials.
The archaeological site stands behind an industrial zone with restricted access, though specific observation points allow visitors to view the excavations.
Excavations revealed three basins in partially exposed rooms that researchers interpret as either ancient bathrooms or burial chambers.
