In the game

The game imagines a Crusader city in 1191 with little documentation to work from; its Poor, Middle and Rich Districts are the most invented of the four cities. The real city in 1191 was still recovering from the siege.

The place today

Inhabited walled city; Ottoman town above Crusader city.

What to look out for

  • The Ottoman skyline over the Crusader foundations
  • the street-level change between periods
  • the sea walls and the harbour mouth
  • the flat-roofed caravanserais
