The last Templar fortress, Krak Des Chevaliers

Krak Des Chevaliers, Syria. Here, in the northern part of the country, close to the Lebanese border in an unassailable position overlooking a barren landscape is where these magnificent warlords chose to build one of the most remarkable fortresses in military history.
Walking through it today is haunting, the weight of history and the importance of this place and the people who built it is deeply felt.
Deus Vult!
