[Syria] The Middle Eastern Laputa! World Heritage Site "Crac des Chevaliers"

Krak des Chevaliers, a World Heritage Site in Syria The remains of a 12th century Crusader fortress on a hill 650m above sea level In "Lawrence of Arabia," it was praised as the most beautiful castle in the world, and its ruined circular tower is also called the "Middle Eastern version of Laputa" by Japanese Ghibli fans However, due to damage caused by the civil war, part of the tower was destroyed by air strikes, and there is a hole in the ceiling, so it is registered on the World Heritage in Danger List At the time, it was a very beautiful tower that stood out against the blue sky It seems that momentum for restoration is increasing in recent years It is a heritage site that I hope will calm down as soon as possible and restoration will be resumed #Overseas travel record #Syria #World Heritage Site #Ancient Castle
