The
Krak De Chevaliers (Fortress of the Knights), was the main fortress and headquarters to the religious military order of the Knights
Hospitaller.
Located in Modern day Syria, the castle was virtually impregnable. The thick walls, excellent design and
strategic location created a near perfect Medieval castle.
From the 11
th to the 17
th centuries, the Knights
Hospitaller were a warrior religious order tasked with defending Christianity, the Holy Lands and the poor & sick.
