I just returned from a trip to Israel. Toured the crusader realm from Akko (Acre) through the Jordan Valley.

Truly remarkable what the Crusaders built - churches and forts with 10 foot thick walls and huge vaulted ceilings that are still standing today. This one below is from 1180.

This church is from 1100’s as well

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Time for another crusade

The buildings they built were amazing. Not so sure any other part of the Crusades were so wonderful…
