    Tartus is a city on the Mediterranean coast of Syria. The History of Tartus goes back to the 2nd millennium BC when it was founded as a Phoenician colony of Aradus. The Crusaders called the city Antartus, Tortosa, and they built the Cathedral of Our Lady of Tortosa in 1123 over a Byzantine church that was popular with pilgrims.
    The site is included on the UNESCO Tentative List under the official name, Tartus: the citadel of the Crusaders.
