Mampsis - The Site

The town of Mamshit is entered through the north gate in the town walls, from which we continue along ancient streets between blocks of houses to two large administrative buildings. Here, as in many of the houses, can be seen the springing of the stone arches which supported the roof. There is little ornament. In one of the buildings the arches have been preserved and it is possible to climb to the upper floor, from which there is a fine general view of the site.
