Welcome to Krak des Chevaliers
Krak des Chevaliers ("fortress of the knights") was the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller in Syria during the Crusades and is seen as an archetype of a medieval castle as the military orders built them. Both castles are located on high ridges that were key defensive positions. The castles also retain features of earlier Byzantine and later Islamic periods and thus show the evolution of fortified architecture in this region.
