Tiberias

Tiberias was the capital of the Principality of Galilee and one of the great feudal seats of the Crusader kingdom. Count Raymond III of Tripoli held the city through his wife Eschiva, and it was the siege of Tiberias by Saladin in July 1187 that drew the Frankish army out to its destruction at the Horns of Hattin a few days later. Fragmentary remains of the medieval castle, city walls and a lakeside tower survive along the modern waterfront.
