Tripoli - Marina   In al-Mina, the port section of Tripoli, stand the ruins of four great guard towers built by order of the Mamluk sultans of Egypt to defend their inland city of Tripoli from sea attack.

Originally there were seven towers, three have practically disappeared. From the ruins of the destroyed Crusader port city, they collected the necessary building material in order to defend their vulnerable coastline against the Crusader’s return.
