Citadel of Tripoli

From Warlike




The Citadel of Tripoli is a 12th-century fortress in Tripoli, Lebanon. It was built at the top of a hill "during the initial Frankish siege of the city between 1102 and 1109" on the orders of Raymond de Saint-Gilles, who baptized it the Castle of Mount Pilgrim while local Muslims have been referring to it as the Castle of Saint-Gilles.
