Ashdod-Yam

The virtual tour of Ashdod-Yam, along the southern coast of Israel, has been put online. The castle at Ashdod-Yam has been a long neglected site, and due to disturbances, the construction phases of the castle are difficult to discern (during the period from the Umayyad through the Crusader periods). Nevertheless, the castle is in a beautiful setting along the Mediterranean coast, and the walls of the castle are preserved to a substantial height, leaving a good impression of the site.
