Baysan (Beit She'an)

Also known as Se Cr. Bethsan, Bessan, Betsan, Bet She'an

Beit She'an, one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in the region, was a Frankish administrative centre in the twelfth century. A massive square tower some 17 metres across, built partly of reused Roman ashlar blocks, stood a few hundred metres from the great Roman theatre. It was incorporated into the later Ottoman 'Old Serail' and its Crusader core can still be traced in the old town.
