Minat al-Qal'a (Arabic: مِنَاة الْقَلَعَة, lit. 'harbour of the fort'; Hebrew: מצודת אשדוד ים, romanized: Metzudat Ashdod Yam, lit. 'Ashdod Yam Fortress'; Latin: Castellum Beroart) is a medieval coastal fort protecting the port known as Ashdod-Yam (lit. "Ashdod-on-the-Sea"), which was historically separate from Ashdod proper but whose archaeological remains are today located on the southern beach of the sprawling modern city of Ashdod. The fort was built by the Umayyads and later restored by the Crusaders.
