Krak des Chevaliers

Krak des Chevaliers

 

The Crusader Castle in Syria, Krak Des Chevaliers looks unerringly similar to what it looked during the Crusades. T.E. Lawrence beautifully described the fortress as” perhaps the best preserved and most wholly admirable castle in the world”. It is one of the chains of fortresses that guarded the Levant in the 13^th century situated in a dominant position. The fortress is called ‘Qal’at al-Husn’ in Arabic. The Castle of Knights is located 65km west of Homs and 75km south east of Tartus at the top of a ridge 650m above sea-level. It was built to manage the gateway of Syria-“Homs Gap” through which Syria communicated with Mediterranean and the entire world.

The castle consists of two ought to watch parts: an outside wall with 13 towers and the inside wall. A moat separates the two. Though the moat is full of stagnant water but once was used to fill the baths and water the horses. An impressive gate in the 16 feet thick wall defining the main entrance of the castle and passing the towers leads to a Courtyard. After the take over of Sultan Beybar, the chapel in the courtyard was converted to mosque which can be still seen in the form of Minbar, an Islamic pulpit. At the top floor rests a café which was once the Tower of the Daughter of the King and gives the pleasure of the great views.

The citadel has been recognized as the world’s most important medieval structures due to the reason that it could accommodate 5000 soldiers with their horses, equipments and provisions for five long years. Its total area is 3000 square meters and apart from what discussed above, has many stores, tanks, corridors, bridges and stables.

The fortress was also used as an example for the castles built in England and Wales by Edward I of England while on the Ninth Crusade in 1272.
