Raymond, with the aid of imperial engineers, constructs Mons Peregrinus, "Pilgrim's mountain" or "Qalaat Saint-Gilles" ("fortress of Saint-Gilles") in 1103 in order to block Tripoli's access inland.

Taking the nominal title of Count of Tripoli, Raymond is aided by Alexios I, who prefers a friendly state in Tripoli to balance the hostile state in Antioch.
