Royal Necropolis

The royal necropolis of Canaanite Gubla.

The necropolis contains nine underground tombs housing the kings of Gubla, who reigned between the 19th and 13th centuries BC.

The tombs, about ten meters deep, are carved into the rock, they contain a burial chamber where the sarcophagus is placed.

To prevent their looting, these tombs were well protected by filling the wells. Only the tomb of King Abishemou is open to visitors today.
