Currently located in northern Israel in the mountains of Galilee, Safed (Safed, Zefat, Tsfat, Zfat, Safad, Safes, Safet, Tzfat) is regarded by Jews as one of the four holy cities of Israel (along with Jerusalem, Hebron, and Tiberias). A fortress here was once occupied by Crusaders but it surrendered to Saladin in 1188.
