Tancredi Tower, Medieval defensive tower in Old City, Jerusalem, Israel.
The remnants of Tancredi Tower stand at the northwestern corner of Jerusalem's Old City walls, measuring 35 meters on each side.
Built during the Fatimid period in the 11th century, the tower gained its name from Tancred of Antioch during the First Crusade in 1099.
Archaeological excavations in the 1970s revealed the tower's foundations, which reflect different architectural periods from Fatimid through Ayyubid times.
The tower's remains lie beneath the current Ottoman city wall, making them accessible through archaeological investigations near the northwestern corner.
The structure held an alternative name, Turris Nebulosa, appearing on 13th-century maps before its destruction by al-Mu'azzam Isa in 1219.
