The building, a so-called 'tower-temple', goes back to the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. Under Hittite rule in the second half of the 2nd millennium, the temple was decorated with reliefs showing images of 'false windows', two bull-men, and the Weather God. The entrance was protected with the relief of a fish-genius, as well as sphinx and lion portal figures.In the 11th century BCE, Taita, "King and Hero of the Land of Palistin", restored the temple. He inserted his figure directly facing the Weather God. A final redecoration took place in the later 10th century BCE. It shows the Weather God entering his chariot, surrounded by his entourage.
