Hotel Baron, on Baron Street.  Opened in 1909, it was one of the most famous hotels in the Middle East, used by Agatha Christie, Roosevelt, Mustafa Kemal Attaturk, Lindbergh, and T. E. Lawrence. I did not stay overnight, but also did not want to miss out on a visit, so all by myself hung around the old bar and had a beer.
Scratch any really old fortress or mosque in the Middle East, and you will discover that someone figured out that strategic location or sacred site long before. This perfect spot once had a Roman fortress on it.
