On the sign:
הקארדו הרומי
לפנינו שריד מהרחוב הראשי של העיר הרומית אנטיפטריס. קארדו הוא כינוי לרחוב הראשי, שכיוונו צפון-דרום, בערים מהתקופה הרומית.
לאורכו של הקארדו נבנו חנויות, ובמרכזו התחבר הרחוב לפורום, הכיכר המרכזית של העיר הרומית. ניתן לראות לאורך האבנים חריצים, שנוצרו במהלך השנים מגלגלי הכרכרות שנסעו לאורכו של רחוב זה.
מגדל התצפית הממוקם על הקארדו הוא מהתקופה העות’מאנית, ונבנה זמן רב לאחר שיצא הקארדו מכלל שימוש.

The Roman Cardo
A remnant of the main street of the Roman city of Antipatris.
Cardo is the name for the main north-south street of a Roman-era clty.
Shops lined the Cardo, and at its center it was connected to the Forum, the city’s central square. Grooves can be seen in the paving stones, carved over the years by the wheels of vehicles rolling along the street.
The lookout tower on the Cardo was constructed during the Ottoman period. long after the street had fallen into complete disuse.
