About

Founded in 1103 by the Crusader count Raymond de Saint-Gilles and rebuilt across the Mamluk and Ottoman eras, this vast citadel looms over Tripoli's Abu Ali river and old souks. Wander its layered gateways, ramparts and inner courts for sweeping views over the medieval city. Information panels and a small museum help tell the story.
