Crusader Atlas
Interactive map of Crusader castles, towns, and fortifications in the Holy Land
Crusader Atlas is a hand-curated interactive historical atlas mapping Crusader-era sites, fortresses, battles, and surviving remains across modern Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. It covers the medieval Kingdom of Jerusalem and neighboring Latin states from 1099–1291, placing every castle, church, and battlefield on a modern map with detailed accounts and photographs. The project is free and ad-free, sustained by voluntary donations.
Users explore an interactive map with curated markers for castles, towns, battles, and religious sites, each containing historical accounts, Wikipedia links, and photographs of surviving remains.
