Many cities were attackd by the crusaders. The most important two were:

  1. Jerusalem, captured by the crusaders of the First Crusade in 1099, with its entire population slaughtered, without concern whether they were Muslim or Christian.
  2. Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Empire, which was sacked by the crusaders of the Fourth Crusade in 1204.

The City that the Crusaders most wanted would have been the Holy City itself; Jerusalem.
