A very remote site high upon a hill, at the steep borders of a canyon river. It was discovered in 1869, now dated 2200 - 1550 BC - a bronze age city of the Al Algar Culture that conquered cities such as Knossos and Mykonos. Archaeologists are still excavating the hill and probably it was completely inhabited. The defence walls are thick and high. The work, which continues today, shows an authentic city of some 40,000 m2 which, at its peak, some 3,800 years ago, was inhabited by some 1,000 people.
