[Text at the top of the marker]: The Crusader-Ottoman Building

This was built in the 12th century CE and remained in use until the Ottoman period. The hall has typical pointed vaults and embrasures in the walls, with remains of another two perpendicular halls. These halls were part of the Tiberias fort that was the capital of the Crusader 'Galilee Principality', and was integrated into Daher el-Omar's fortifications in the 18th century CE.

[Text at the bottom of the marker]: Millstones

These millstones are known in the Talmud as "donkey's mill". They comprised of a lower cone-shaped stone and an upper double cone-shaped stone. Wooden poles were inserted into the holes in the two square projections to which a donkey was harnessed and turned the mill. On the mill before you a lion - Sultan Baybars' symbol - was carved during the 13th century CE.
