Karak

This is a crusader fort built to protect the eastern borders of the kingdom of Jerusalem in the 12th century. This is my 1st crusader castle, and it certainly is large and impressive. In fact, it's one of the largest. The crusaders were only here about 50 years before they were ousted by Saladin.
The 1st picture is the outside walls along one of the more vulnerable sides. The 2nd picture is on the ramp up into the castle proper. It goes between the walls up from the gate. The 3rd picture is a tunnel that has rooms off the sides that look like they might have been quarters. The 4th picture is the long, dark hallway of one of the dungeons.
The 5th picture is a kitchen, and the last is an addition built by the Ottomans.もっと詳しく
