Richard the Lion Hearted

As we all know from our "history" books, Europe sent Crusaders to "rescue" the Holy Land from the infidel moslems (now called "Muslims" to be more true to the Arabic spelling). Not only did the Crusaders build castles and forts in Palestine, but sprinkled them around North Africa as well. This one is near the seacost in Tunisia, where I spent the summer of 1976 studying Arabic with about 40 other American grad students from across the States.
