Tower of Lebanon

Tower of Lebanon in Beirut

The modern tower of the Lady of Maghdouche built near the site of a Crusader tower. It is safe to say that the tower were built or adapted by the Mamluk sultans of Egypt, vanquishers of the Crusaders in the late 13th Century, to guard the Lebanese coast against future landings of Crusader fleets from, Cyprus or Europe bent on regaining their lost Kingdom of Jerusalem.
