The Citadel of Ashdod is an Iron Age archaeological site on the Mediterranean coast of Israel in southern part of the modern city of Ashdod. The site is mentioned in documents from the time of Sargon II of Assyria when in 713 BCE the Assyrian king speaks that he took over control of the city of Ashdod and had fortified it.
From the walls of the citadel you could see most of Gozo. Far off in the centre of the photo you can almost see the Jesus statue that is a smaller copy of the statue of Jesus the Redeemer situated on Corcovado Mountain overlooking Rio de Janeiro in Brasil.

Most of the mound (apart from one) had been abandoned recently so the government can renovate it. The government has plans to move back 50 families once the renovation is over.

The Tower of David is an ancient citadel located near the Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem.
Built to strengthen a strategically weak point in the Old City's defenses, the citadel that stands today was constructed during the 2nd century BCE and subsequently destroyed and rebuilt by, in succession, the Christian, Muslim, Mamluk, and Ottoman conquerors of Jerusalem. It contains important archaeological finds dating back 2,700 years, and is a popular venue for benefit events, craft shows, concerts, and sound-and-light performances.
The name "Tower of David" is due to Byzantine Christians who believed the site to be the palace of King David.
