Israel, Yalo, Castellum Arnaldi Crusader Site

The area was under contention in the Middle Ages by Christian and Muslim forces. In the Crusader period, a castle called Castellum Arnaldi or Chastel Arnoul was built at the site. It was destroyed by Muslims in 1106, rebuilt in 1132–3, controlled by the Templars by 1179 and taken by Saladin in 1187. Some of its ruins are still visible.
