Jerusalem — Citadel (Tower of David)

Also known as Jerusalem, Ierosolima, Yerushalayim, David's Tower, Tower of David, al-Quds ash-Sharif

The Citadel next to the Jaffa Gate was the residence of the Crusader kings of Jerusalem from 1099 until 1187 and again briefly from 1229 to 1244. Built around a gigantic Herodian-period tower known today as the Tower of David, the Crusader castle straddled the city wall and commanded the western approach to Jerusalem. Much of its medieval masonry, gatehouses and moats is still visible inside the Tower of David Museum.
