ronin53 That fortress was described as “perhaps the best preserved and most wholly admirable castle in the world” by T.E. Lawrence and it was made a World Heritage Site, along with Qal’at Salah El-Din.

Carley I also have to use the word "magnificent" here!!" This whole series is magnificent..... both the architecture and your showing of it. Coming from such a young country it's really hard to even imagine anything that old!
