Hazor, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was one of the most important cities in the ancient Near East due to its location – one of the region’s main trade routes. Its biblical history is rich: it was first conquered by Joshua and later became a main city of King Solomon. Archaeological excavations have produced fascinating finds, including a restored Canaanite palace bearing signs of a huge fire attributed to Joshuas conquest, a gate and walls from King Solomons time and the Israelite water system that was one of the engineering marvels of its day.
