Crusader Castle

Crusader Castle refers to the fortified structures built by European Crusaders during the medieval period, primarily in the Levant region. These castles served as military strongholds, defensive outposts, and administrative centers during the Crusades, which aimed to capture and defend holy lands. Constructed with thick stone walls, towers, and sometimes surrounded by moats, they were designed to withstand sieges and control territory. Today, many Crusader castles are archaeological sites that offer insights into medieval warfare, architecture, and the history of the Crusades.
