Saladin's troops set fire to the grass, after cutting off the Crusaders' access to water in the Sea of Galilee.[1] Saladin built a "victory dome," Qubbat al-Nasr, on the hill.[citation needed] Thietmar, a German pilgrim who visited the site in 1217, wrote that the "temple Saladin had erected to his gods after the victory is now desolate." In the early 17th century, ruins were found on the summit that appeared to be those of a church.
