Syria attractions
Cathedral of Our Lady of Tortosa
Cathedral of Our Lady of Tortosa was a Crusader-era cathedral in the city of Tartus, Syria. It was built by the Crusaders in the mid-twelfth century and functioned as both a fortress and a church. It has been described by historians as the best-preserved religious structure of the crusades. It now serves as the National Museum of Tartus. The Cathedral was built to sanctify the Byzantine pilgrimage site of the Sanctuary of the Virgin Mary, which, according to tradition, was dedicated by St. Peter. A chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary may have existed on this site as early as the fourth century.
