Horvat Eqed, Archaeological site in Latrun salient, Israel
The archaeological ruins spread across a hilltop at 365 meters elevation, featuring ancient walls, towers, and water storage structures from multiple periods.
The fortified settlement dates from the Hellenistic period through the Bar Kokhba revolt in the 130s CE, when inhabitants abandoned the location.
The excavated remains include Jewish ritual baths, coins, and military equipment that demonstrate the daily activities of Jewish communities during ancient times.
The site requires coordination with local authorities for visits, and sturdy walking shoes are necessary to navigate the rocky terrain.
The location presents extensive underground hiding complexes connected by tunnels, used during conflicts against Roman forces in ancient times.
