la citadelle de Tripoli 2 - Liban

Château Saint-Gilles

this Crusader fortress was originally built during the period from 1103 to 1104. It was burnt down in 1297 and partly rebuilt the following century by a Mamluk emir.

The most impressive part of the citadel is the imposing entrance, with its moat and three gateways (one Ottoman, one Mamluk, one Crusader)
