Perched dramatically on a heavily wooded ridge with precipitous sides plunging into forested ravines, Qala'at Saladin inspired T.E. Lawrence to declare it 'the most sensational thing in castle-building I have seen.' The castle combines Crusader and Byzantine construction atop an ancient site carved into the living rock.
