Haaretz.com: Archaeologists working in the old city of Tiberias have discovered the remains of a 12th century Crusader fortress. The gate and part of the wall are among the discoveries by archaeologists digging in the old city of Tiberias in Israel as part of a tourism development project. A magnificently-ornamented crossbeam from the gate may date back to Roman times and was incorporated into the later building.
