How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A fortress of tall towers by the western gate of Jerusalem.
The real place
The citadel by the Jaffa Gate goes back to Herod's palace towers. Most of what stands today is Mamluk and Ottoman, rebuilt after the game's time. It now houses the Tower of David Museum of the history of Jerusalem.
Visiting
Walk the ramparts for views over the Old City. The night show projected on the walls is popular; book ahead.
