Burj al-Malih / Tel Tanninim

Tel Tanninim — 'the mound of the crocodiles' — lies just north of Caesarea at the mouth of the Nahal Taninim stream. A small shore tower and an oval defensive enclosure with gates, cisterns, and vaults were maintained here, linked in the sources to the Hospitallers. Much of what survives is older Byzantine and Roman harbour fabric reused by the Franks.
