Tower of Flies (Acre)

Also known as Turris Muscarum, Migdal Zvuvim

Medieval tower on a rocky islet at the end of the southern breakwater of the port of Acre, forming the seaward anchor of the harbour chain that closed off the Crusader harbour. First documented in the 12th century and named for a pre-Crusader shrine (Baal-zebub, 'lord of flies'). Destroyed and rebuilt repeatedly; submerged foundations survive and are visible above the waterline at low tide.
