What are some templar knight cities?

Question

I was just wanting to know some cities that were owned by the templar knights? I would appreciate it if someone could name a lot of them?

Answer 1

Naz - the cities you have listed were Teutonic cities not Templar - a different lot altogether.

The Templars controled cities and land from France, across the Mediterranean to Jerusalem.  Probably their most famous cities are the cities of Sidon and Tyre.

Their greatest building was Krak Des Chevaliers in Modern Syria

Edit - Quite right Bobdole_13 - I stand corrected. (It is a very cool castle)

Answer 2

JPA was right about the confusion of Teutonic versus Templar knights, but he was mistaken about Krac, which was a Hospitaller castle.

Answer 3

Riga, in Latvia, would be one.  But if you look up the history of the Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia), you'll find quite a few.
