A:At various times in its long history, Jericho had walls around it to protect the city from foreign invaders. The last wall before the Hebrew period collapsed during an earthquake in the sixteenth century BCE and the city was abandoned. By the late fifteenth century and the time traditionally attributed to the Israelite invasion, the city had long been abandoned and only a small, mud-brick village existed on the site of the former city.

In spite of this, the Book of Joshua tells that the city of Jericho was surrounded by a high wall, and that Rahab lived in a house in the city. The story does not tell us about other buildings in the city.
