Described by T.E. Lawrence as 'the finest castle in the world,' Crac des Chevaliers sits on a massive hill above the Orontes Valley with walls that were never breached. The concentric fortifications, vaulted great hall, Gothic loggia, chapel-turned-mosque and Warden's Tower offering sweeping views are all walkable on a single visit.
