It’s a must if you visit Syria…thankfully remains relatively unscathed from the many years of war
Essential to bring a torch as parts are exceptionally dark….but truly what a place to visit

Stunning castle with tremendous history, originally a Kurdish castle then expanded by the Crusaders and then the Mamuluk. The castle sits atop of a hill and first sight is amazing, you need a couple of hours to walk round inside as this is a large Castle. Great views from the top and usually no safety railing everywhere.

Un vieux souvenir des livres d'histoire de mon enfance qui s'est offert à moi. Majestueux, massif, un peu décrépi, certes, mais après 1000 ans de service, qui ne le serait pas? Depuis 2006, il est inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.

Today it's called Qal'at al-Hisn, which means "the fortress of the fortress" actually. But it's mostly known as Crac des Chevaliers, Crac of the Riders (knight hospitaliers), Crac being an analogy to Al-Karak in Jordan (Kerak des Moabites) and a deformation of an earlier Arabic name, Hisn al-Akrad, the fortress of the Kurds. It was captured by Mamluk sultan Baybars in 1271, there is his inscription on one of the pillars inside.
It is located in a passage between the Lebanon mountains and the An-Nusayriyya mountains. And it rose to importance in the crusader period, when it was part of the county of Tripoli, was given to Knight Hospitaliers and became the sit of the grand master of that order. His window is adorned with small sculpted flowers.
It is a concentric castle, made of two levels, built of a bright stone. It has several towers. For the best view, go a bit further from it, the view from the town is not nice.
There are also cellars where you can't enter in theory, but no-one guards them.
There are many interiors. A nice refectary with some sculptures close to the entrance. A chapel (with remains of paintings), with a minaret. Very big stables. A big hall with a central big pillar with Baybars' inscription. And many, many passages.
There is a nice view of the hills around it from the upper side of it.
There is a village next to it, partly Christian.
I've been there twice

Una fortaleza que data de 1.031, de la época de las cruzadas. Si bien presenta ahora algun deterioro producto de la guerra reciente, aun es posible apreciar en toda su magnitud la grandeza de esta construcción. Vale realmente la pena llegar ahi y disfrutarlo.

I visited this palace before the war, sometime in the fall of 2010. It was not listed in my travel itinerary, in fact i had never heard of it before. However, my Syrian guide and driver was insistent. He had taken me to Palmyria the day before, and I trusted him so I agreed.
We had to rush to get there by car since it closes at 4 and it is a long drive up hill you would have to hold your breath as the slopes are steep. The view of the countryside from the castle is simply spectacular. I think it's a 11th/ 13th century medieval castle, which has a small Gothic church on the upper level, a stable large enough for about a hundred horses and large moat which is already dry. The walls are huge and thick made of very solid rock. There are nice alleys, passage ways and steps you would need at least an hour to walk around. You can get a very good view of the town and the rest of the Syrian landscape from here. If you are into medieval art and warfare, check out the National Museum in Damascus for bow and arrows, swords, metal gear and ware used by the Knights of Chevalier. It's all there.
I hope the war in Syrian has not damage this place as it is an incredible piece of architecture.

For all history lovers, it is a must see castle. There is so much history there like you wouldn't believe. I recommend booking a tour with the local guide there, it's about 10$ and it's totally worth it.

Was lucky enough to visit here as I was passing after doing work locally. We asked the security about a visit despite it being closed and the allowed us in for a look. It was in surprising good conditions, especially given the present circumstances. I look forward to visiting again in better times ahead

Ήταν ένα κάστρο σε πολύ καλή κατάσταση που σε ταξίδευε στον μεσαίωνα. Το είχαν κατασκευάσει οι ναϊτες ιππότες. Δυστυχώς δεν γλύτωσε από την τρέλα του πολέμου.
