About

Cathedral of the Holy Cross is the remains of a Crusader church in Tyre, Lebanon. It was built in 1129 under the rule of William I of Tyre and dedicated to the Holy Cross on the site of a Byzantine church.

The cathedral served as the seat of the Diocese of Tyre and was one of the four Catholic dioceses of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
