Annotations

Tel Dor - Acropolis.  The Crusaders built a fortress on the acropolis (high city), on the south-western side of the city. This was the Crusader's fortress of Merle, constructed by the French noble family De-Merle, who lived in Dor. The Crusaders removed all Roman structures from the area of the hill, cut a trench near area D, and rebuilt a fortress using the Roman pillars and rocks.  In 1187 the fortress was acquired by the Crusader Templars, who held it until their retreat in 1264. It was then demolished by the Mamlukes.
