Mousaylaha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Citadel of Mousaylaha is located in Batroun, northern Lebanon. The Crusaders built the citadel during the Middle Ages and then it was rebuilt by Emir Fakhreddine II in the 17th century to guard the route from Tripoli to Beirut. Mousaylaha is constructed on an isolated massive rock with steep sides in a plain beside Al-Jawz river, which gives a beautiful scene from the fortress.
