This impressive Crusader castle was built by Baldwin I of Jerusalem in 1115 and was originally called 'Krak de Montreal' or 'Mons Regalis', so-named in honor of the king's contribution to its construction (Mont-Royal). In its heyday, about 6000 people resided in the castle. It was attacked several times by Saladin and finally fell to him in 1189 after a two-year siege. The Mamluks later restored the castle in the 14th century.
