The Crusades are among the most dramatic chapters of medieval and world history. Thousands of knights set out for Jerusalem to liberate the Holy Sepulchre, perform heroic deeds in His name, and return home with the glory of holy warriors.
With the establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, whose borders largely coincided with those of ancient Phoenicia and Palestine, the Crusaders began extensive construction throughout the Holy Land. They restored churches from ruins, built monasteries, hospitals, mills, roads, and bridges. Yet the most impressive achievements were their massive fortifications. Many of the Crusader castles and cities in the Holy Land have survived to this day.
Our tour offers the opportunity to explore these remarkable sites, reflect on the grand ambitions of the warriors of Christ, and understand the reasons behind their victories and defeats at the very locations where history unfolded.
