Western Gate and Casemate

View looking north  at a portion of the casemate wall where it connects to the four chamber gate.  The outer portion of the casemate is visible on the left (west) side of the image and the inner portion of the casemate is just right of the center of the image.

This is where the major excavations of Kh. Qeiyafa have been.
