Apollonia Crusader fort

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Apollonia is a fortress town on Israel's Mediterranean coastline,  a few minutes south of the better-known town of Caesarea.  While the settlement dates to 500 BC, it became a walled city during the initial period of Muslim rule which began in the 7th century.  The town fell to Christian forces in the Second Crusade, but was returned to Muslim control again in 1265 when it fell to a siege of the Mamluks.  After the latter siege, the town's inhabitants were killed or sold into slavery, and it never fully recovered.
