“The triumph of the gigantic” this description sums up the impression we get upon visiting this formidable castle.

Located 0n top of one the coastal mountain peaks like a crest. Marqab is in many ways the most baleful of the Crusader fortresses in Syria. The citadel, with its huge wall and fourteen towers, looks like a huge vessel that has embarked on the top of the hill overlooking the endless azure Mediterranean sea.

Other important castles in Syria include:
• Crac des Chevalies (Krac des Chevalies)
• Saladin castle (Soane castle)
