About
Mount Adir, located in the Upper Galilee region of Israel, is a significant archaeological site due to the remnants of an Iron Age fortress found there. This fortress is believed to have been constructed by the Omride dynasty of the Kingdom of Israel. Rising to a height of 1,008 meters, the mountain is one of Israel's highest and provides strategic views towards Lebanon. The dense Mediterranean forest covering the mountain adds to the site's natural beauty. Archaeologically, the fortress represents the defensive structures of the Early Iron Age, dating back to the 9th century BCE. The mountain's historical and archaeological significance is enhanced by the panoramic views it offers and the modern commemorations related to the Second Lebanon War.
