Ruins, possibly Crusader Cathedral, Tyre, Lebanon
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries
A cathedral in Tyre, Lebanon, built in the 12th century. The cathedral became the traditional coronation place for kings of Jerusalem and a venue for royal marriages. The Crusader cathedral, which had been damaged by an earthquake before, was destroyed by the Mamluks who conquered Tyre in 1291.
