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.
