EDITORS COMMENTS
Krak des Chevaliers, a renowned Crusader Castle nestled near Homs, Syria, is depicted in this photograph taken from the southwest in the 1930s. Perched atop a hill, the castle's imposing presence is a testament to the rich history of the Crusades. Its towering walls and towers have stood the test of time, offering a glimpse into the past. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its intricate architectural design, has survived in remarkable condition up until the early 21st century. However, it has suffered significant damage during the Syrian conflict. In August 2012, reports emerged of the castle being shelled by the Syrian army, resulting in damage to the Crusader chapel. The castle endured further devastation in July 2013 when it was hit by an airstrike during the Siege of Homs. Despite these unfortunate events, the castle continues to be a symbol of historical significance and resilience. Its intricate design and strategic location have made it a valuable asset throughout history, from the Crusaders to the present day. The castle's enduring allure draws visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at its rich history and architectural beauty. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining the knights who once called Krak des Chevaliers their home. We are reminded of the complex history of the region and the importance of preserving historical sites for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
