Tel Tsafit

תל צפית

Holy & historic sites · Center

Tel Tzafit is identified with Gath of the Philistines, the hometown of Goliath. The mound rises above the Elah Valley region and serves as a viewpoint over the Shephelah. Excavations have uncovered remains of the Philistine city and signs of an ancient siege. It is a short, rewarding stop for those following the story of David.

Tip: Combine it with the Elah Valley, where David fought Goliath.
