 Some archaeologists believe that the original entrance to Herod's structure was in the location of the "qal'ah" and that the northeastern entrance was created so that the kalah could be built by the former entrance.In 1100, after the area was captured by the Crusaders, the enclosure once again became a church and Muslims were no longer permitted to enter.During this period, the area was given a new gabled roof, clerestory windows and vaulting.
