When Pope Urban II gave his address in 1095 calling on the faithful of Christendom to take up arms and embark on the freeing of the sacred city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Islamic rule, he gave breath to a whirlwind of religious violence that would rage until the 15th century. Many see the Crusades as a stain on the history of Christianity and, indeed, the atrocities committed by the rampaging armies – including the horror of the sacking of Constantinople – are legendary. Indeed, the echoes of these conflicts still resonate today. This cruise explores the other legacy of the crusaders: the churches, castles and citadels they left behind in the southern Mediterranean.
