al-'Affula (Afula)

Also known as Afula

A fortified tower roughly 19 metres square once stood on the low rise at the centre of modern Afula, guarding the fertile Jezreel Valley between the hills of Galilee and Samaria. The tower belonged to the network of small Frankish strongpoints that policed the valley roads rather than any single great lordship.
