Built in 1228 and built by the Crusaders, this picturesque castle is situated on a small island that was once dedicated to the temple ruins of Melkart, the Phoenician version of Hercules and passed through sturdy stones. The causeway is connected to the mainland. In order to prevent the Crusaders from returning to the area, most of the Mamluks were destroyed and it was refurbished by Fakhreddine in the 17th century. On a calm day, you can see many broken rose granite columns lying on the surrounding seabed. In the winter of 1227-1228, the Crusaders decided to strengthen Saida Port. In just a few months, they built this impressive fortress on the Phoenician site. The castle was partially destroyed and rebuilt several times until it was bombed by the British Marines in 1840. This is the symbol of the city of Saida. Opening hours: 9 am to 6 pm in the winter / 9 am to 4 pm
