Description
-
Slide depicting Krak des Chevaliers, a fortress in Syria. Expanded by the Knights Hospitaller to protect pilgrims and control the mountain pass trade routes between Tripoli and Homs, the castle was one of the most well-defended in the Latin East. As a result of the ongoing Syrian Civil War, Krak des Chevaliers was hit by an artillery strike in 2014 and the damage is still uncertain. Nearly a millennium later, Krak des Chevaliers continues to play a role in Syrian warfare.
