Ashdod Travelers guide

Running 65 Good to know Yad Lebanim The Municipal Cultural Center, established in 1990, in the city's cultural campus, is used for many shows and events in the city. At the entrance to the building, there is a memorial site for the city's fallen IDF soldiers, who lost their lives in Israel's military campaigns. Round- abouts It was not in vain that the city earned the name "The city of a thousand squares". Those visiting will notice a substantial amount of impressive city squares, with names that are not any less impressive and creative given to them by its residents (see "The Blue People Square", "The Shpitz Square", "The Spaceship" and more). Lachish Stream One of Israel's southernmost coastal streams. Lachish Stream (named after the ancient city) flows 72 km from the Hevron Hills region into the city of Ashdod. With the exception of the part of the stream that flows through the city, the stream is a seasonal stream flowing only in the winter. Dirt parking lot at the site To Ad-Halom Station "Afikim" and "Dan BaDarom" bus lines 17, 26, 27, 140, 141, 142, 150, 151, 152, 465 and all the lines arriving at the nearby "Egged" bus terminal Ad-Halom Bridge A B C Ad-Halom Bridge The bridge, which was built by the Turks in the late 19th century on top of the foundations of the original Roman bridge, is the northernmost spot in the country reached by the Egyptian military forces during the War of Independence. Hence the name "Ad-Halom" ('Thus Far'), which is also the name of the highway interchange located south of the bridge. At the end of the war the historic bridge was reconstructed and the Ad Halom park was built next to it, which contains a memorial site to the fallen soldiers of the Givati Brigade and a monument to commemorate the fallen soldiers of the Egyptian Army. The park borders the beautiful Lachish stream nature reserve (See the route "Ad Halom : From Touring the Authentic Market to the Decisive Battle in the 1948 war").
