“Fate is indeed an impregnable fortress” – Usama ibn Munqidh

Fate may be an impregnable fortress but the old family castle is a shadow of its former glory. It has been studied extensively by archaeological teams from Italy and Germany.

The photographs hint at the castle’s famed past. If you listen carefully you can almost hear the echoes of clashing swords and battle cries. Check out our page for more details on Shayzar Castle. Or the Wikipedia site for Shaizar.
