The archaeological park keeps traces of the city of the times of the Crusaders. In 1099, after the capture of Jerusalem, the knights led by Tancred of Normandy arrived in Tiberias and took the city without a fight. After nearly a hundred years in 1187, the soldiers of Saladin took the city and defeated the crusaders on Mount Hattin. In Tiberias, you can see buildings constructed of black stone - basalt and white stone - limestone. Such a wealth of building material is due to the fact that the city stands on the western shore of Lake Kinneret - here there are limestone mountains, and the eastern shore is of volcanic origin basalt there. Throughout the history of the city, its builders skillfully used these materials. Translated with Google Translate
