The largest concentration of Crusader architecture is to be found in Palestine although Crusader strongholds were also built further afield from the Gulf of Aqaba to Anatolia. The main territories comprising the Crusader dominions were: the kingdom of Jerusalem (roughly equivalent to modern Palestine), the county of Tripoli (centred on the Lebanese port of Tripoli), the principality of Antioch (on the north coast of Syria) and the county of Edessa (with its capital at Urfa).
