About the battle
In the year 1265, the Mamluk Sultan Baibars captured Caesarea Maritima on March 5. A few days later, Baibars dispatched a force to capture Haifa from the Crusaders. The inhabitants of Haifa were warned of the Mamluk approach in time and quickly evacuated to their ships, abandoning the town and citadel. The Mamluks easily captured the town and began demolishing it alongside its citadel.
