Located
next to the National Police Museum at the
northern end of the Citadel, the Citadel
Prison Museum consists of several actual
cells that were in use from the time of Salah
El-Din (Saladin) until the 20th century.
Mannequins dressed in historical costume
sit in some of the cells to illustrate their
use. Signs identifying the era represented
by each “prisoner” are in Arabic
and English.
