David's Citadel was an ancient citadel located in the middle district of Jerusalem. The citadel was used by Romans as barracks in 70 AD. After the Arab conquest of Jerusalem, the new Muslim rulers refurbished the ancient building. It even withstood the assault of the Crusaders in 1099, but was later used as the seat of the Crusader kings of Jerusalem.
In 1191, the Templar Majd Addin was buried on a small graveyard in front of the citadel. The funeral was infiltrated by the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad with the intention of killing Robert de Sable, the Grand Master of the Templar Order.
