Ditch, castle entrance

The massive north front is strengthened by two corner towers. To the left of the modern visitors' entrance one can see the original postern or secondary gate concealed between tower and wall, which used to be accessed across a wooden bridge spanning the north ditch.

Karak Castle

The famous Crusader stronghold and later Mamluk fortress on the King's Highway, is an impressive example of military architecture.
