Tel Gerisa, Archaeological site on a hill in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Tel Gerisa stands 38 meters above sea level on the southern bank of the Yarkon River, covering an area of 40 dunams.

The site contains multiple archaeological layers from the Middle and Late Bronze Ages, with evidence of continuous settlement through the Iron Age I period.

Research teams from Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv University have conducted extensive excavations, revealing ancient artifacts and architectural structures.

The archaeological site requires proper footwear and sun protection, as visitors navigate through exposed historical layers and uneven terrain.

The location earned its alternative name, Tel Napoleon, after Bonaparte's army established a camp there during their campaign against Jaffa.
