Israel, Gezer - six chambered gate built by Solomon
The Canaanite town was supposedly conquered by an Egyptian pharaoh and given to Solomon as a dowry for his daughter.  Solomon then rebuilt and fortified the city, including this six chambered gate, dating from the 10th century.  The chambers were to be packed with soldiers, so if enemies forced their way through the gate, they would be surrounded by soldiers on all sides.
